VPN doesn’t improve security. Your shit was already encrypted over https. It’s privacy.
My own banking app stopped working after an update too. My crime? Using a fairphone.
Huh? I don’t understand this post
IMO this is one example of the countless stupid rules banks force on its customers in the name of security.
- No VPN
- Smartphone app only protectable with a four digit pin
- Access from rooted phones not permitted (but windows PC is ok)
- Maximum password length enforced
There are many more, feel free to add some mire stupid ideas.
I hate this fucking app, and I hate their website even more. I wasn’t allowed to us hyphens in my password.
More than anything I hate that banks make me I replace my 20-character password with a 4-digit pin for the mobile app.
I would go out of my way to make an account with a bank that takes security more seriously. Sigh.
Would you be allowed to set password’); DROP TABLE ClienId;-- ?
You should be allowed to. Any bank that doesn’t sanitize their inputs is just waiting to be hacked.
