It is insane that any internet banking portal still uses a static password.
wdym? What's a dynamic password?
A token?
A rotating code key - a lot of banks these days will give you a fob to enter a rotating proof of ownership off of along with your password.
Time-based one-time passwords. It's been used for years for multi-factor authentication.

that was one example of where they are used lol
