My Credit Union has just upgraded their online login screen so a member has to type their membership number in and then....enter their security code by pressing numbers on the screen with their mouse.

Lucky I can use a mouse!


Edit: It allows for tabbing, but as the numbers aren't arranged in a logical order, e.g. 1,2,3,4 or like a number pad on the keyboard, it took me 61 tabs to enter my 6 digit code, lucky as I have double numbers next to each other in my code, otherwise it could take over a hundred.

Have you informed them of their stupidity?

And I bet one of their designers is sooooo pleased with themselves for coming up with such a cool bit of kit. :)

Given that it probably took me a minute or two to tab code in, how long do you think it might take someone with a condition that makes them shake to tab it in? 10 minutes? half an hour?

Gosh, bank site security settings often log you out automatically after a short period of inactivity.

Perhaps it's deliberate and they are trying to discourage on-line banking. After all most people use online banking to move money out of their account and not to move money in (that comes from someone else's online bank account). :)
