I suppose they could create multiple hashes each time you change your password, but I'm not optimistic.
- kennydude 9y agoIt's more than likely plaintext or "encrypted" (and decrypted to check if it's correct)
- LiquidFlux 9y agoI suspect it may be more related to being keylogged or an equivalent, and not revealing your entire password in the process.
- arethuza 9y agoMy UK bank requires a password and a separate secret phrase that they do the letter selection from. You need to supply the password and 3 letters from your secret phrase. As my phrase is quite long I pretty much always end up writing it down or using an editor.... :-)
