Online banking is largely a read-only proposition. It's mostly for reading account activity. Some of the more forward-looking banks will even let you initiate ACH transfers, but generally sending money to a new recipient triggers a 2FA prompt (debit card number prompt, phone call, text) and several secondary notifications, with several days to say "that wasn't me" before the money is gone.
I wouldn't voluntarily post my bank account credentials on the internet, but at the end of the day, the security of an online banking account just doesn't matter very much.
The security of the transaction mechanisms do, sure, but that's got little to do with online banking passwords.
