[Gllug] Linux online banking yet again, especially with Konqueror

[Panos Savvas]

SecureID's are not distinct to users but interchangable (as I understand -

code on the chip to generate numbers unique to the user?

Also the lack of portability at least encourages users not to use online
banking from multiple machines.... a security feature? ;)
