I chose my words carefully. Everybody needs to asses the risk for themselves. Some of us consider the CA system horribly broken.
some people (on this list but I don't have a citation handy) have reported having banks lock accounts in response to attempting to access them anonymously.My banks per se never made problem (and why should they - first I log in (and three failing attempts will lock up the account (DoS anyone?)), and secondly for transactions I also need a TAN device and my card.
Different banks behave differently. The OP reported a different experience from yours. I was very careful to avoid telling the OP what decision to make.
