We have been actively encouraging the other banks to adopt this type of technology (based on "two-factor authentication") and have been sharing information with them on this via the Irish Bankers Federation for a number of months now. However, we still do not see any movement from the primary banks other than the usual statements like "be careful with your passwords and PIN's and never respond to emails requesting your log-in details"
I emailed the bank concerned about this problem about a year ago and they, amazingly, admitted there was an issue and would look into it "immediately".
The have now 'fixed it', it was a long running joke!
While some were complaining about it in the NR thread, NR's version which only rotates the numbers requested (on a separate screen) after a successful logon, is how it should be implemented.
Towger said:But the bank in question have now replaced the text fields with dropdown boxes which don't accept keyboard entry. It might be more secure against keyboard loggers, but it is a bloody pain to use. Anyway why would someone bother logging just keyboard strikes when it is just as easy to install software to record the whole screen!

???
NR ask for 2 characters of a (long) alpha numeric password, the characters requested are only rotated on a successful logon. This is the system I believe BOI are now using, except using a 6 digit PIN. But up to now BOI asked for 3 numbers of the 6 digit PIN, if you did not know any of the numbers being prompted for, you just refreshed the screen and it would prompt for another random 3!!

RD, Security tokens are much better solution (unless you are like my wife who writes her PIN on the back!).
Ciao Rabodirect, could you pls let me know if you'll introduce the "international transfer of funds" functionality to your online banking? Thank you in advance for your answer
