More Secure Login

Hi,

I noticed that my online banks are now using a 2-page login which is more secure than a 1-page login.
You enter username on first page and the password on the second.
I imagine someday PCI will require this for compliance.

Can/will you please implement this for the new version?

Re: More Secure Login

How is a 2 page sequence any more secure than 1 page?  I can't speak for Nick but I don't foresee a change like that coming in CCP.

Having to go through 2 pages just to log in to shop would be detrimental to the shopping experience.

Re: More Secure Login

It helps to prevent clickjacking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickjacking). Reputable banks will change their login processes to prevent malware authors' exploitation of users' accounts (passwords may be saved in the browser's password cache and then used to log in to the site without the end user's knowledge, should the end user visit a site hosting a malicious script).

Re: More Secure Login

My own opinion as an avid online shopper is that I would NOT like to do the two-page login just to shop. I think you are comparing apples to oranges - a BANK needs a lot more security than an online shopping site. JMHO.
