    You had to share your password over the phone? That’s asinine. And you say it was your bank, and a major one, to boot? Wow. If that’s their approach to security, I’d tell them they can just look up my password in their database, which I’d assume to be in plaintext too (and to actually just be a really big Excel sheet).

    Anyway, regardless, you need some passphrases in your life! So much easier to deal with, if you ever have to share it out loud, and more importantly, a whole lot easier for you to parse and manually type, on the occasions where it can’t be auto-filled. As I said before, Correct Horse Battery Staple! :)

      Sorry, it was a security question, not a password, my bad!
