I'm not asking your current passwords, but do you agree this is a unique way to complain about a Banks services? (or any other services for that matter?)
I have a simple method for dealing with banks. First, I walk up and begin shrieking at the night depository. Next, if anyone is looking, I sneak about taking small bites of the plants. I cut to the fron of the teller line and say loudly,"what do you mean I own the bank? That is preposterous!" I then begin to make a low humming noise. After this I march straight back to the Manager, and cry out,"I demand to see the manager" I then cover my eyes and continue to yell. After 5 minutes, I grab the manager's head and lick their ear. Then I take down my pants and stride confidently out of the bank, sure that my point has been made.
I used to have something like that for my online banking password. Mine was way more vulgar though. I don't think they noticed though, because I think they store the hashed version of the password.
The employees should have no access to see his passwords at all. That's the real problem - it's a serious security breach. Apparently Lloyds IS pants.
No, that bit is explained in either the link given above or somewhere else (I've read two accounts on this today - but it's a UK thing). Apparently it's not a breach if there are multiple account holders, as was the case with this one. And the employee was sacked for altering it...
It should be. What's the justification of allowing the employees to view passwords on accounts with multiple holders?
