I agree, that is totally lame. I wonder why there's been relatively little publicity about that?Improbulustag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849059.post-45565550642087776182007-03-25T23:57:00.000+01:002007-03-25T23:57:00.000+01:00I agree that the idea that this login procedure is...I agree that the idea that this login procedure is more secure is bogus. If they really wanted greater security, they should have used an electronic security code generator in conjunction with the previous procedure.<BR/><BR/>Whilst implementing this piece of nonsense, they have also managed to break the sites ability to remember user preferences, such as the download format to use for financial records, and the dates for which data has already been downloaded. They claim that it caused "performance issues" during testing, so they disabled it! How lame is that?Anonymous
