A Note About Using Internet at Disney or any other vacation

[clkelley]

If you check your banking or credit card accounts while on vacation on the internet BRING YOUR SECRET WORDS/QUESTIONS WITH YOU.

On your home computer, you've probably got it set to "remember" you, so you don't have to plug in those secret words every time.

However, when you log into your bank account from a different internet provider or a different area of the country on your wireless card, the banking system will no longer remember you, so you have to provide your secret words.

I forgot mine, and was blocked out of my bank account. I had to call the bank and have everything reset.

That's true. But just to be clear, I'm not talking about passwords. I have no problem remembering those, I'm talking about the additional security questions most banking institutions have added, when they want to randomly query you on, or most definitely query you on, when you log in from a different ISP or different region from your home computer.
