Which tech password/login method would you actually trust with your bank account?
Britain's obsession with online banking means we're all one dodgy login away from disaster. So which method genuinely feels safe to you, and which one makes you sweat?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Fingerprint scanner
Quick, familiar and doesn't require remembering anything. But does it still work when your hands are covered in bacon grease at a Wetherspoons breakfast?
B
Face ID
Convenient until you're wearing a scarf on a freezing Manchester morning and your phone refuses to recognise your own face.
C
Old-fashioned password
The one you've used since 2009 with slight variations. Still the most trusted by many, even if it's just your dog's name and a birthday.
D
Two-factor authentication code
Annoyingly slow but reassuringly paranoid. Perfect until your signal drops on a Northern Rail train and you're locked out entirely.
E
Physical security key
The tinfoil-hat option beloved by IT professionals. Rock-solid security, provided you don't leave it in the pub.
