OK, in the mess of my termoil I am changing my info on aff accounts. Let me point out some GIANT security holes I am seeing while doing this
Some will send you a current password, not a link to generate a NEW password!
Some show your password and security question/ answer when you log in!
THESE ARE TERRIBLE practices.
Really bad security!
I got hacked in Sept and 3 pmops/email addresses and pw’s were changed. Money, my id and all my ach info was stolen. 2 accounts I caught in the nick of time. I was reimbursed the stolen money by the program. Very greatful for that gesture. They also opened a fraudulent NT account and NT called me and verified the bogus account and shut it down.
After that I emailed every program regarding their security, one put a request in with the software provider to make some improvements. I have seen a couple improvements but nothing close to standard security like only showing the last 4 digits of a bank account #.
I also brought up revealing the answer to the secret question.
