I know that for a while the banks here "keyed" your password to your
computer as a security measure. In theory that computer was the only
one that you could access your internet banking on. Of course that
didn't last long when people discovered that they couldn't check their
accounts from work or while at a friend's place or by using Mum and
Dad's computer - or logon when they upgraded to a new computer. It may
be that your bank does that. Wouldn't hurt to give them a call and ask.
They can reset the password for you and you have to re-register if
that is the case.
