Banks. They screw us on rates of interest, they screw us on charges and so they screw us on passwords. Bear in mind the previous "financial institution grade safety" adage? I took this saying to activity virtually a decade in the past now however it appears that evidently a minimum of so far as password recommendation goes, they actually haven't realized. This week, Commbank is telling folks to make use of a password supervisor however simply not for his or her financial institution password, and ANZ financial institution is forcing folks to rotate their passwords annually as a result of, uh, hackers? Ah nicely, as I at all times find yourself lamenting, it's a good time to be on this trade! 🤣
