It is your responsibility to participate in the security of your customer's information. It is your fault if you "choose convenience over security". It is not anyone else's fault.
Ask yourself how you would feel if your bank just let someone access your account and steal your money. Would you forgive them if the bank said "well it would have been really annoying to have to check the person's identity before letting them take the money, so we chose convenience over security"? Of course not.
Security professionals are there to guide you and make security tools easier and less intrusive for you to use (and believe me, they want to make it easier for you, if only for the entirely self-serving reason of reducing the amounts of complaints they get), but even if the security tools are hard to use, it is your responsibility to still use them. You are not doing your job if you disregard them, and "it's annoying" is absolutely, 1000% not an excuse for potentially exposing the sensitive information of every one of your customers.
- matz1 7y agoTrying to shift security to end user wouldn't improve security. Most people value convenience over security. Then the bank is not doing a good job. Its the bank responsibility to secure my account. How they do it is up to them . I don't really care what method they use as long as from my perspective its frictionless and not annoying. If you make security tools that is hard to use, then you are not doing a good job, be prepare for push back and consequently less secure environment.
