I wonder how they’re storing the password if they can do that. some fixed number of combinations of positions and they hash the triple of those characters?

it’s not plaintext or single-character hashes, right?

right?

I think that's about as good as it could be, and even that would leak password information if the hashes leaked -- it's a lot easier to brute-force a three-character combination than a password of arbitrary length.

what practical purpose does "please enter 3 randomly selected characters from your password" serve that just typing the whole dang password in wouldn't

I suppose it could be interpreted as a (bad) attempt to implement a challenge/response-based login system, such that a malicious actor observing one login attempt would not be able to replay the login. Think someone shoulder-surfing the person logging into the site, or if the client computer has a RAT, etc.

A real version of this would be a private/public-key based challenge-response scheme, where the site would generate a challenge, the client would sign the challenge using their private key, and the site would verify the signed response with the public key. Human beings aren't so good at producing signatures, though.

Is that ally bank? They would repeatedly lock my brokerage account any time I logged in with my clock set to a different time zone from my address. They also let me make like two dozen checking accounts before I got bored. I used to use them just for their market api but discovered it was inaccurate over time. They're morons.

i think it's natwest bank in the uk, i recognise the purple text in the ui. most of their digital experience isn't bad tbf although the website is markedly worse than the app. they also have one of those 'facial recognition' things when you set up a new payee which feels like it must be just the app sending a video of you moving the phone slowly towards your face to someone in india.

you need to get a new bank op, everyone else just does fingerprint as primary and I think password/logon pin + otp as a fallback

it's funny to think of when it was just your user id and like a 6 digit number to get access to do absolutely anything on your online banking account

next time I have to phone the HMRC tax people about some bullshit it'll be interesting to see if they're still doing voice authentication (literally "my voice is my password verify me" iirc)now that it's easy to fake, though I guess what's someone gonna do? logon and pay my taxes?

love that scene in The Bourne Ultimatum where he clowns that guy by taping him saying his name with a dictaphone to open his voice locked safe, just smdh at the phrase not being keyed to "weedlord bonerhitler"

also I had to call up a company I hadn't called in like 10 years (transport for London) and they had security questions and one was "what was your childhood nickname" and I was like "oh poo poo i hope I didnt put weedlord...." But fortunately I'd put the truth which was "I didn't have one everyone called me by my last name"

It's definitely natwest and they have been using this awful password system for 2 decades now. The bank has given me some ridiculous problems since I left the UK where they refuse to entertain any correspondence made outside UK, and their app won't download or even work outside. I lost my card and had to jump through a series of hoops just to have them send it to me, which then got lost in mail, so I had to jump through the same hoops again. There are worse banks there but I also do not recommend natwest
