> I think it works because banks have nonsensical security already
Like FirstDirect changing the password requirements for their app from the already far from best practice "between 5 and 9 case-sensitive alphanumeric" down to "6 digits" and making a show and dance about this being "just as secure as before"…
Suffice it to say that I've spread my financial resources a bit more widely than that one organisation now (and I'm considering a more complete move, but a lot of the competition is no better). I want there to be more than my unlocked phone and give digits between the bulk of my money and anyone who wants access to it.
