I received the following email from Chase Customer Service regarding my discovery of the fact that the offline password is kept in plain text on the users PC: Date: 3/17/98 Subject: Chase online banking Thank you for your e-mail messages regarding the offline password in Chase Online Banking. Chase has upgraded the offline password feature in the software and we will distribute this new version to all customers shortly. We have advised all Chase Online Banking customers to use an offline password that is different from their bank password. The bank password is encrypted and needed to transact with the bank. We hope you will continue to enjoy using Chase Online Banking. Thank you, Nancy Mazolla Online banking customer service 1-800-336-3806 I wonder if the new version will still have the password in plaintext or not, I guess I'll just have to wait until I get my new copy of the software :) Dorqus
