Security Question

slight misspelling = still logs in. however, we have gotten past the gates of password, and PIN, to get to this question.

probably designed due to the smartphone keyboards and folks fat fingering the keys.
Holy cow, I forgot all about this thread.

Yeah, No. I spent 20 years in IT (still do some side work). There is zero reason to do this. Fat Fingering never comes into play in secure sign on design. Any software designer that did that intentionally should have his head examined for dents, especially at a bank.

If you fat finger something you should be denied access till you get it right regardless of the number of steps it took to get where you fat fingered and entry.
