It is insane that any internet banking portal still uses a static password.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

wdym? What's a dynamic password?

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

A rotating code key - a lot of banks these days will give you a fob to enter a rotating proof of ownership off of along with your password.

Time-based one-time passwords. It's been used for years for multi-factor authentication.

Yeah, multi factor, that means you still have a regular password as well as the totp.
