Comment on South African bank advises against the use of password managers

Comments

Thirty minutes ago I closed my account with Wells Fargo because of their lack of security. Last month, they called to validate my identity. I called back, they asked for my mother's maiden name.

Me: "Since that information is on Facebook, I use a big random string starting.."

Them: "That's good enough, so what we want to talk about is.."

Then when I went into the local branch, the receptionist wanted to swipe my debit card in their tablet to add me to the line. Forget that, I'm out.
