Banks, like other businesses, are taking precautions to make customers feel safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Let’s face it, passwords are a pain. As we’ve been pushed towards using longer and ever more complex passwords, and told to update them with increasing frequency, password management has become something of a headache.
