they pose the question - and then ask for both 'hint question' and 'hint answer'. The most reliable method for password change is a simple email followed by a confirmation on the web - why more sites do not follow this is totally beyond me. Even paypal has realised that most of these silly procedures just keep users out. Of course banks do not need to worry since most of us are too tired of all the procedures to change banks.
One of my banks has it simpler. It asks me for just a few letters of the password. The first, third, seventh and 10th for example. That way even if there is a keylogger installed, my whole password is never leaked.
which bank is this ?
