This scheme is only experimental and has not been made permanent yet and the good folks at notobikeparkingfees.com are doing a great job at challenging this. There's been a lot of shady dealing between councillors and the private firms who run this scheme, apparently.

Why do we have to have those annoying, large security gadgets? You know the ones - the thing you put your card in that gives you an access code to log in online. The other banks haven't done this and it's so incredibly inconvenient to have to carry it in order to access your bank account. It's so inconvenient that it removes much of the benefit of online banking. I imagine that it's been put in place to cover Barclay's a*** but I can be trusted not to write down my password and to make it secure enough.
And in any case, you can log in without it and still see your account details (albeit you can move any money). This means that with details that are stored in most browsers you can look at someone's account anyway. So in some ways it's less secure. #
All in all an entirely rubbish system. 9 months ago via web
The pin readers are a pain I agree, but are a massive lift to internet security. For anyone in the same position as me, the Barclays and Natwest pin readers are made by the same firm with the same alogorithm, so you can use them interchangeably. I keep one at work and one at home.
The best online security from a bank that I have seen to date that doesn't require a PIN reader or token chip is ING Direct. They make you use your mouse rather than a keyboard, and always move the keypad around each time you visit. 8 months ago via web
