They can't give her the password only force a reset and send her a new
initiation code. HSBC online banking requires a magic widget and as such
is relatively secure unless the token is physically stolen. They also
recommend you use Rapport anti-key logging software (but I have a
suspicion that it destabilises IE9 even more than it is already).


I've had that Rapport thing installed for quite sometime on the VM I only
use for internet banking. Doesn't appear to have caused any issues with
IE9.

It seems to work OK with IE (8 and 9) for me, but I normally use Chrome. If
Chrome updates itself then it usually freezes until after I've updated
Rapport - and if the Rapport people haven't yet written their "fix" for the
update I have to wait and use IE until they have.

Nick Clegg walked into a branch of HSBC to cash a cheque. As he
approached the cashier he said "Good morning , could you please cash
this cheque for me"?

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure Sir. Could you please show me your
ID?"

Clegg: "Well I didn’t bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was
any need to. I am Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister!!!"

Cashier: "I’m sorry, but with all the regulations, monitoring, of the
banks because of impostors and forgers, etc. I must insist on proof of
identity."

Clegg: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell
you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry Deputy Prime Minister but these are the bank
rules and I must follow them."

Clegg: "I need this cheque cashed."

Cashier: "Perhaps there’s another way: One day Colin Montgomery came
into the bank without ID. To prove he was Colin Montgomery he pulled
out his putting iron and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a
cup. With that shot we knew him to be Colin Montgomery and cashed his
cheque.
Another time, Andy Murray came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis
racquet and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my
cup. With that spectacular shot we cashed his cheque..So sir, what can
you do to prove that it is you, and only you, as the Deputy Prime
Minister?"

Clegg stood there thinking and finally says: "Honestly, I can't think
of a single thing I'm good at."

Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes, deputy Prime Minister?"
