Or is online banking going to become a thing of the past?In two-factor authentication, customers must confirm their identities notonly through something they know, like a PIN or password, but also withsomething they physically have, like a hardware token with numeric accesscodes that change every minute.
the banks aren't forced to provide anything to the customer, just must require two-factor authentication. I'm sure whatever method the bank provides will have the associated hardware, any software, and any other requirements covered by the bank most of the time. The demand for online banking combined with competition ensures that this will almost certainly be the norm. The official FIL is here: http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/financial/2005/fil10305.html
To Valdis's "if said rules go through", there is no "if" - once there's a FIL, it's a done deal. The FDIC calls it "guidance", but that's misleading at best (they're mandates). "Guidance" on how to avoid getting your doors shut by the FDIC, I guess. ;)
