At the corporate level security fobs, keys, and cards and biometrics are the minimum at most well run places and have been for decades.
There's too much compute power out there for even the hardiest password to be trusted for mission critical security. |
Using good passwords is ok but I only use a prepaid debit card online with only what I can afford to lose.
I also have two part verification on all email accounts--yes I have about fine email accounts. When my gmail is accessed from a new IP address or new device I get notification on two email accounts and all of my android devices.
