@203.143.18.x | Bank of America Passcode Requirements Hi,
I've been using Bank of America online banking for awhile. But for the past couple of months I didn't logged in, and though I want to log in now, I don't remember the passcode. Because of specific passcode restrictions I sometimes deviate from my normal passcode structure which is probably the case here.
So, can anyone please provide the requirements for Bank of America passcode? Does it not allow special characters like &, %, * etc.?
Thanks.

@203.143.18.x | Yea.. I'm just worried that it would require a big process like going to the bank etc. Can we just do the Passcode reset via the email address? |

Here is the info they have right online in their FAQ:

What if I forgot or need to change my Online Banking Passcode?
If you forget your passcode, you can change or reset it by visiting the Reset Passcode link from the Bank of America homepage. In order to change or reset your passcode, you will need to provide your Social Security number, your Bank of America ATM or debit card personal identification number (PIN), and your SiteKey.
When you reset the passcode - it will tell you any requirements and what characters are allowed.

Am I sensing stereotyping based on where I'm from??? I will not waste my time answering such questions. But it was so out of line to specify detailed info like the above!
Ps. i'm not trying to dig info so I can hack some accounts! |

You would have to ask B of A that as this is not a B of A website. As you can see there is good reason banks use a process to recover/reset a password for how many years now? The link to do that is on the login page itself.
Sorry we can't provide a way for you to steal account info. The banks out there have these things in place to prevent you from doing so.

It's best to just contact the bank directly for help. Anything said here would still lead you to having to deal with the bank at some point. Might as well just do it now. When you try to login unsuccessfully, isn't there something like "Forgot password?" for help? |

Get over it. You are posting in a security forum full of professional security paranoids. It has nothing to do with your race, religion, nationality, sexual preference or hair color.
In your defense a quick Google did turn up one Bank of America location in Sri Lanka.

How is it stereotyping ? You are in a country not in the U.S but want information on password requirements. You never answered if they have a branch there so I am assuming you may be on travel.
Again being the paranoid security guy , Most people register an email and could
1) Call to get reset
2) Email to get directions to reset
3) Visit the webpage and ask the Bank for help
You seemed to have done none of the above. To me you are trolling trying to get other people to help you. |

Oh, do you think that they tie their, not "SiteKey" passcode, but that other one (forgot the name) to your IP?
Either they do, or it must be coincidence.
Had logged into various accounts earlier.
DSL dropped (Verizon) & I'm sure when it started back up it had pulled a new IP.
And just now when I went to log into BoA, I had to go through that extra screen, the "mothers maiden name" deal, before I could get to the SiteKey passcode screen?
(When I get some time, I'll test that theory. Doesn't seem right, so could just be coincidence?) |

> never answered if they have a branch there
I did look that up when the thread first came about, There are a total of 13 local banks and 6 international banks that are operations in Sri Lanka. But that list (FWIW) does not show BoA. I do now also see where you came up with your location. (Finding anything on BoA's site for foreign locations itself was futile, in the time I spent looking there.)
> assuming you may be on travel
Certainly a good possibility. |

Some of you folks damnation by IP would be humorous if you didn't take yourself so seriously.
What's the value of an anon's IP posted to this forum?
Ziltch.
What conclusions can be drawn from an anon's IP?
None.
Is the anon OP a threat to any banking site?
Judging from the question, no.
Am I feeding a troll?
Probably, but then again I'm not perfect either. |

Ha! Son of a gun, they're associating IP with the login, I'm pretty certain.
(Must have lost signal overnight, & so pulled new IP.)
Have not yet verified by manually pulling an IP, but it looks like it.
And if they're doing that, then that's asinine - at least for those that have dynamic IPs.

Re: Bank of America Passcode Requirements It might be due to the particular URL used when logging in?
> »safe.bankofamerica.com/login/sig···ignOn.go
Looks to be tied into IP?
> »secure.bankofamerica.com/login/s···creen.go
IP change looks to not be an issue with that.
So "safe" vs "secure" & you end up with it reacting differently.
(BoA does/has changed from time to time the login used.) |
