Banks and financial institutions use high security PKI (longer keys than LotW) for the large, inter-institution transfers. The login/password system is used ONLY for end users who do not know any better. Many of the better (more security conscious) institutions are moving to proprietary moving password systems in which a special device generates a unique password every minute. The user has to have that device and use the correct password in order to log in. Without the correct device (or an identical device programmed with the identical seed and started at the identical time) it is not possible to access the account. Should ARRL provide similar authentication devices to every LotW user? 73, ...
