I am no expert and don't claim to be. But on the basis that not everyone
wants to go out and buy a smart card reader, maybe you could shed some light
on how and why we are confused?
I quite agree that a secret account number, a log-in name different from the
account number, and a second password are the same thing. But it's not worth
arguing over what you call it. The question is would it increase security?
It is a granted here that we are talking about protection from sophisticated
trojans, keyboard sniffers etc. I think most of us on this list know that we
should have good passphrases and should not enter them on other sites.
That's not what I'm worried about. If someone can convince me that that's my
only concern, I will be very happy, but Frederick's story appears to confirm
my fears.
