   I have to read this 3 more times until I can follow it.  ;-)   But I   
   think  you said the bank would request a key.  It didn't. It just said   
   what I entered didn't match their records   And I still had a few tries   
   left [until they stopped me from trying for a day or two, or made me   
   call them. It didn't say what the punishement was for being wrong too   
   many times.]   
      
   I must have logged in from the new computer at least once, because it   
   didn't want to send me a code first.

   Amazing.    I guess for both of us, there was something going on like   
   you describe above, or something even more complicated.   
      
   BoA doesn't make me change my password or ATM code and I like that, so   
   maybe they have some better way of checking these things.

   No real need. I can just use the new computer.   I don't log in very   
   often.
