Secure Banking 101, Take 2.

Some of you may remember that it was brought to the light before, the in-security of some password entering schemes, when the [HTML_REMOVED]Westpac moved to their new system[HTML_REMOVED].

When, it looks like another is to follow a similar path, and maybe they have gotten it right.

It seems [HTML_REMOVED]Credit Union Australia[HTML_REMOVED], on the 1st of July, will move over to a [HTML_REMOVED]new system[HTML_REMOVED] of where you can enter in your password either by the keyboard, or via their "Scramble Pad". Unlike the Westpac attempt, you can still enter with your keyboard if you so wish. Hopefully this is how it will stay. I have fired an email off to them to find out.

On the down side, they fail to get password security right, with the fact that passwords are only numeric, and only up to 6 digits long.
