I hate my #bank...
"As a #security measure" when you #login, instead of typing it the whole #password, you have to type in 8 #random characters from it, like 1st, 4th, 10th etc.
What does this #secure against? Your user being able to log in? Every time I have to open a #notepad and type out my password, count the characters, and type them in one by one, instead of JUST USING A PASSWORD #MANAGER.
If an #attacker knows your password... WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THIS MAKE?!
