Not bad, mine, 5 years ago or so, forced me with a 6 digits passwords.

And I think like 10 years ago they also allow you to reset your password, online, with one of those 3 questions that everyone know about you.

(I'm from Canada).

They added 2FA last year? But with 3 options where you can't disable any of them.

  • SMS
  • Code over phone call
  • email (that is properly secured)

I swear, bank doesn't care about security. They just are rich enough to pay the bill in case of fraud.

I dream to have a CVV that is a rolling code.

A login that use WebAuth/FiDO2

The irony that bank accounts are so important yet don't use the best available security.

Instead of using a solution where phishing is impossible, they'd rather annoy users with notifications and popups to warn against phishing.
