The Inquisitr: Using “Pants” In Your Password Can Backfire

  • Kevin · 1 year ago
    Lloyd's stores passwords unencrypted? It shouldn't be *possible* for a bank employee to know what your password is. If any random employee can obtain the users' login credentials, you money is not safe there.

    Reason enough by itself to take your business elsewhere, even apart from the lack of a sense of humor.

    That, or the story is false.

    I think you'll find that 'pants' are undergarments in Britain. The picture is of what we would call trousers.

    It's a serious security hole to store the password at all. I won't go into the technical details of verifying an offered password without the original to compare it against, but it isn't difficult and keeps you from getting into all sorts of trouble. If Lloyds isn't up to this simple technique (which was developed in the mid-1960s), they ARE pants.
