How is using a personal assurance message more secure?
The personal assurance message protects you from accidentally or unknowingly revealing your account number and password to an imposter or a fraudulent Web site. If the message presented is the one that you selected, you can feel secure in entering your password to complete the sign-on process. In addition, if someone obtains your account number and password and attempts to sign on, they will be using an unregistered computer. Therefore, the system will prompt the user to answer additional security questions. Since they will not know the answers to the questions, they will be denied access and The Golden 1 will be alerted.
