Not necessarily; they were one of the first UK banks to officially support Safari for their online banking, so they are at least aware that Windows isn't the only OS in the world.

When did accessing an online bank account just bring up a box with a UID and password? All the ones I use require individual chars from your pin and password to be entered in a different order every time, you can't just click remember password.bloggoth

The card reader came in the post yesterday, it doesn't connect to your PC in any way, when online you're asked to key in certain things that return encrypted codes.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Does it have RSA SecurID written on it anywhere? That's what the chaps here use for VPN.Originally posted by gingerjedi"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I don’t think so? I'll have a look tonight, I think it only accesses info on the card and doesn't actually have any real time encryption... it looks like a cheap calculator to me.Originally posted by Moscow MuleScience isn't about why, it's about why not.

These things usually change the number displayed on the token every minute. You enter, say, a 10 digit number based on a 4 digit PIN plus the currently displayed 6 digits on the token. The server will do all the clever stuff, including keeping a database of all the tokens (and any drift they may suffer) from an "agreed" server time.Originally posted by gingerjediComment

I got mine a few days ago. Not sure its going to make it anymore secure as if you can steal my card and get my pin out of me then you can access banking.
Which is what you would have been able to o by stealing my banking pin from me in the first place. I suppose its more a defence against the key loggers on peoples PCs more than anything.
Shame my business accounts doesnt look like it will get the same protection.
ANd yes, it does look like a very naff calculator.Comment

Some of these have a duress mode. If you enter the last digit of your PIN and/or the random bit, the system knows you're being forced to access your account, and scrambles the SWAT team to your position.Originally posted by SockpuppetComment
