Screaming at web sites
The Alliance and Leicester online business banking system is slowly driving me to a nervous breakdown. It has such a ridiculous level of security that it's almost completely impossible to use.
Company ID
Log on ID
Password
Second password
And the rules on what makes a valid password are so tight that you can't generate one that suits your own preferences.
They want three digits from each of both passwords (in a random order) and by the time you've counted that many on your fingers, you almost ineivitably make a mistake. I got logged out today (after already having input all passwords correctly in order to be allowed on the site at all) when I failed to input the second one correctly, yet again, in order to authorise a payment.
Is free banking really worth this much hassle? Or are all business accounts this hard to access?
I need a 'tearing out hair' icon.
