Is this Censorship, Security or Banter?

Question

A disgruntled Lloyd's Bank customer chose 'Lloyd's is pants' as his telephone banking password and found that it had been changed by someone at Lloyd's without his knowledge. They then refused to let him use 'Lloyd's is rubbish' or 'Barclays is better'.

Censorship, security or banter?

Answer 3

Lols,I like his sense of humour.Censorship I would say.So much for them being encrypted.

Answer 4

Its company loyalty policy - at its worst/best! The man was disgruntled, he could have at least had hte option to choose his own pw to let off some steam.

Answer 6

Censorship. Pathetic childish censorship.

I just hope Yahoo dont find out my passwords. I'll be banned for life :)

Obviously it's censorship. It is unethical, but I suppose not illegal. Besides, when were ethics ever a concern for a bank or insurance company?
