[GTALUG] Linux and on line banking?

[Steve Petrie]

Hello Karen,

I just tested logging in to my www.td.com [1] Easyweb account. Had no 
problem getting logged in.

The TD website offered me a choice of receiving the SECURITY CODE via 
phone call or text message. I chose PHONE CALL because I have no texting 
service.

I receive the automated phone call on my Bell Canada Fibe land line 
phone and the synthesized voice read out the 8-digi security code twice.

On the first call from the voice synthesizer, I could not decipher the 
pronunciation of the first digit of the code spoken.

So, I simply requested another phone call, which call provided a more 
comprehensible readout of the new 8-digit security code.

I logged in to Easyweb using my 16 digit TD Access Card number and 
8-character alphanumeric password

  A TD agent on a previous call had told me that any alphabetic 
characters in the password  MUST BE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS (NO LOWER CASE).

I'm using Firefox Browser Extended Support Release 91.13.0esr (64-bit) 
on Debian 11 linux.

Pastes from command line:
...
user at debian:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release:    11
Codename:    bullseye
user at debian:~$
...
user at debian:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Debian

user at debian:~$
...

Hope this helps.

Hi folks,
Anyone using Linux successfully to access their on line bank account?
If so, where?
TD  is not a prospect, so may be opening another account where I can 
manage a few things this way, if inclusive of course.
Happy fall,
Karen
