My bank's awful "MFA" stuff by Ice Cream Jonsey 09/21/2019, 9:29am PDT
My bank had this thing where you would give your login info and a picture you picked would show up. Before you put the password in. I chose a WOLVERINE. They said if I ever see a logon screen without my WOLVERINE then it's fake!!!!

Well, they abandoned that whole process. Now you enter the username and password on one screen and get the weakest challenge questions in the world afterwards. No, you can't choose the challenge questions.

The whole spirit animal shit was dumb as fuck the day it rolled out and I knew it was inevitable that they would abandon it because no other website on planet Earth came to the conclusion that a photo of something was necessary. They are the worst at what they do. And what they do isn't nice.

I don't know how so many sites fuckup logins, but they do. They have.
