It is insane that any internet banking portal still uses a static password.

wdym? What's a dynamic password?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

A rotating code key - a lot of banks these days will give you a fob to enter a rotating proof of ownership off of along with your password.

Time-based one-time passwords. It's been used for years for multi-factor authentication.

Yeah, multi factor, that means you still have a regular password as well as the totp.

At least it should not, in many countries must not, be the only measure.
I once encountered an OR in the requirements: Capital letters, small letters and digits OR special characters.
