   When you log in the first time the bank puts a Key on your computer.   
   Subsequent login this Key is past to the bank, the bank does not ask you   
   for the key, the bank computer asked your computer for the key and your   
   computer provides it.   With Ancestry which uses a similar system this   
   key is in the cookies that Ancestry stores on your computer.  If you   
   wipe the cookies, the cookie has to be put on your computer after the   
   proper verification, usually a text or email.
