Swiss Security

It seems the Swiss are VERY serious about security.  Some might say “fanatical”.  To access wifi I need to enter a 16 character passphrase. 

For online banking you need an 8 character minimum password, with at least 1 number and 1 special character, and a 6 digit pin number.  After entering the password and pin on the web page, a text is sent to your phone.  You enter the pass code sent to your phone on the web page and now you have access to your account.  To pay a bill, select the bill, another pass code is sent to your phone.  Enter that code to verify this is bill you want to pay.
