Don't get me started on online bank security. Here in France, most banks have decided that security is best achieved by: - authenticating using a 'client number' (different from your 'account number', sent to you once by a physical mail you lost long ago) combined with a 4-to-6 digit (numeric-only) passcode that you have to input on a virtual keyboard - confirming web-initiated transactions via their app on your phone... but when it's app-initiated, well, you don't have to confirm anything other than just retype your passcode - in the end, introducing some awfully long delays between some actions e.g. creating a new beneficiary and being able to send money to her... because 'it's for your own protection that we degrade your client experience' This just bugs me.
