How I can change the Username itself, not just the password.
Hello, How I can change the Username itself, not just the password please? Cheers, Guy.
- Are you referring to the username and password of the UI? If that's the case, you cannot change the username as there is no option for you to change it.
Your bank is using three factor authentication - who you are (or claim to be), what you know, and what you have. There are quite a few that only use two factor authentication - username & password - and the big difference between these and ecommerce sites that also use two factor is that the bank system force the username to be entered every time you go to the site.
Many ecommerce sites, where the focus is on ease of use rather than security, "remember" you and just require the password to be entered.
All I am doing is pointing out here that whatever the authentication system, if one factor is known, the task of getting in is significantly easier - you seem to feel that the real security is the token, but if I had it, it would not help me any, unless I knew the other two.
From your description I'd guess RSA SecureID - we used that a few years back - does it generate a new token every 60 seconds? Have you had the token generator lose sync yet?
