Back in July, Google's work on a Web Integrity API emerged and many equated it to DRM. The company announced today it's not proceeding...

The Chrome team says they’re not going to pursue Web Integrity but…

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team “heard your feedback.” I’m sure that’s true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

    I’m in Canada and I haven’t registered on a banking site recently, but I have definitely had stupidly low password length limits on banking sites in the past. The password from my old Bank of Montreal account that was last updated in 2015 is only 6 characters, and it’s only numbers and letters; I would have definitely had 1Password generate a better password if the rules had allowed it.

      Tangerine used to have 4-6 digit PIN (no password) to access your online-only account.

      Not sure if they still do. I believe so, though.

      Interesting. I’m in New Zealand and my bank passwords are all proper length and characterset. They also have 2FA.

      I always thought it was just the US that has an antiquated banking system.
