It's not new -- they've been doing that from the beginning, and I've been with them for 4 or 5 years now. So maybe it's one of those "the old-fashioned way turns out to be a good idea for entirely different reasons" things.
The bank I had that got eaten by the POS that made me jump to the credit union had 2-step authentication -- you enter your ID, that takes you to a page with a security image and text selected by you, and only after you can see that it's the right image/text do you enter your password. And they put that in before they had any kind of breach. I liked that bank, but the one that bought them out... well, like I said, that's why I'm now with a credit union.
