They changed the rules for online banking requirements. <br/><br/>As for the 3-letter validation thingie, it's not validation's fault. Blame UE or BA or PM or whatever you want to call them. Or blame QA for writing a bug against it. It's always fun to blame QA. Blame the government. They changed the rules for online banking requirements.

For some reason the little down arrows disappeared when I hit print-screen<br/><br/>And yes, that's President's Choice. Stupid Fuckers. Oh, and now when I log in, I have to answer those questions.... but I can't remember which variation of "fuckUcunts" I entered for the questions.. (I may also have just mashed my keyboard and typed random letters and numbers). I incorrectly thought the answers would be used in a "you lost your password" scenario. Turns out they're going to remind me of my first car or whatever every fucking time I log in. Goddamn I hate these fuckers at the moment.. now I have to phone a 1-800 number. <br/><br/>ASSHOLES!

I ran into the same problem recently. I somehow typed my password wrong multiple times and was forced to reset it. I was asked my security question.. the answer was 20 but I must have typed in "twenty" before because of the stupid validation because failed on my answer. I then had to phone them up and have it all reset... and yes I had to choose new "security" questions. haha, that wasn't PC banking now was it? I ran into the same problem recently.
