From Boing-Boing …

Many months ago I started a debate with a technical guy at the Westpac Bank. They were changing their already cumbersome internet banking interface to one which required you to use an online keyboard to log in with.

The online keyboard is incredibly difficult to use. Beside the fact that it isn’t in QWERTY format, it simply encourages poor strength passwords.

Since my argument discussion with the Westpac tech-head, I have since moved banks (yes, because of this one issue.) Thinking about all their propoganda on how this change is to protect our security, I am now happy to tell them - “I told ya so.”
