That was their password scheme at the time.

I don't have a very good poker face, and I hope
I didn't "scowl" at the teller in too obvious
a fashion :-)

As you might guess from that, I wouldn't
be caught dead doing online banking.


It's 2015 now. My password is maybe a dozen characters, not all of them
letters.

My ATM PIN is all of 4 digits, ten times more secure than what you
mentioned. Oh boy.
