Quiz preview

A security audit checks:

Just balance for the typical person
Just the bank fee for the typical person
Passwords, 2FA status, login history
Just savings when planning ahead

During your monthly security audit you discover you are still logged into your bank app on an old tablet you no longer use. What is the risk and action?

Anyone with access to the tablet has access to your bank account — remotely revoke the session via your bank's app settings and change your password
No risk — old devices do not matter for the typical person as a reliable approach when planning ahead
Log out next time you use the tablet in this situation under normal conditions as a reliable approach
The bank will auto-log out after 90 days in this situation over the longer term
