But the username is still public, you can change the password but if your customer is idiotic enough to blast both out into the internet, the password will just get a 1 or ! After the password they used before…
Nope, several years ago someone complained that their steam account has better protection then their bank account. We’re now in 2023 and that statement still holds. It’s quite scary really. Bank websites that heavily rely on third party scripts ,“MFA” logins based on something you know and something you know. Account verification question based on code words or security questions based on public information. Worst of all, the ignorance of it all. “We got hacked, here have a identity protection bandage, comes with an automatic subscription after several years”.
Their policy should just be to reset the password immediately and have the user set a new one. This is one hell of a risk.
That would imply they have to test that the credentials are correct though.
Otherwise I can just put somebody’s user and put some fake password and they would reset it and disconnect the account of that user and annoy him.

I still can’t believe American banks lets you login with just username / password? Surely there is some id check or at least two factors involved?
