That's nothing, mine's a 5 digit pin code which they only validate 3 of in a random order (to annoy keyloggers, I assume) plus the last 4 digits of my phone number.
Edit: This feels like the scene where Mel Gibson and Rene Russo compare scars in Lethal Weapon 3.
- dave84 12y agoSounds like AIB. If you use the app they don't even ask for the last 4 digits of your phone number.
- Kudos 12y agoBingo. I wonder what their brute force protection is like, but I'm not going to go pentesting the login of a company I'm in the same legal jurisdiction as.
- maaarghk 12y agoYeah, similarly, Lloyds/HBOS in the UK do allow you to have a master password but you also need to fill out a "memorable information" where you select 3 random characters from a second password. But you don't type them, you select them from a drop down. I can see how this would annoy the most basic of keyloggers but it is also a UX disaster and not suitable for decent loggers. Pisses me off.

You might also refer to the scene from Jaws(1975) where Hooper and Quint compare scars: http://www.rowthree.com/2011/10/18/finite-focus-competitive-scars-jaws/ http://www.rowthree.com/2011/10/18/finite-focus-competitive-...
