Two factor authentication is a step in the right direction.

Santander's online banking has it. I know, because I use it.

I also use it, and in my case it does not have multi-factor ... it does
have a system where they present you with an image and a phrase which
you set, which serves to avoid phishing.

IS that what it does? I've always been slightly baffled by that. If someone's trying to hack your account, they're hardly likely to be deterred by it.

Wrong way round. It's to confirm that you're connected to the *real*
Santander, not some fake website set up to collect your password and
security number.
