Maybe let people buy a token like Mt.Gox does (they are hardly huge, and they could afford it...name.com and World of Warcraft too.) You know what was expensive? The bank bailout.

I have no idea what you think bank bailouts have to do with online account security.

The question was asked, why don't more banks use tokens? I provided an answer. That's all.
