BNP's password interface is insane. Instead of having normal password options, they limit it to 0-9 and then implement some hideous and overcomplicated front-end that randomizes the positions of each number on a virtual keypad and you click to enter your password.

Sucks for users but means you can't use key loggers or click loggers to get users' pins. From a security perspective it's actually pretty good. Even if they offered more complex passwords most people would choose a simple one anyway. This likely reduces fraud for the most vulnerable. It obviously sucks for people who know how to protect their devices.

LCL does this too. Man those interfaces suck balls
