How is it encrypted? If the encryption system is not open source, it is |
| 26 |
not trustworthy. |

I wouldn't store my banking passwords anywhere online, in fact I cannot |
| 34 |
access my bank account with password alone. I also need my debit card, |
| 35 |
PIN and the card reader they supply. This generates one-time password |
| 36 |
using my card's details and no online component. I realise that card |
| 37 |
security is not the greatest, but if they've got my card and PIN, I'm |
| 38 |
screwed anyway. |
