- jasonlotito 15y agoNo. They aren't. That they can be used as such does not make what you said true.
- bnegreve 15y agoHum ... like what ? It is quite critical, someone with your username/passwd would be able to call for several hours without you knowing it.
- latch 15y agoA lot of banks don't support two-form authentication. A lot of online merchants keep credit card information on file and allow for quick check-outs.
