Password are only safe in your head and probably noted 
-- free of any banking context -- in an total different
context which only you understand and are able to
decipher but FOR SURE NOT ON ANY COMPUTER (IIIIEEEEEEKKKKKS!).

Tor is anonymous but everything else than safe!!!
An attacker only needs your transaction data and not
ypur name. For that Tor definetly NOT the way to go!

What browser is most recommended for banking purposes?
Internet Explorer?
(this is pure sarkasm)
