Unfortunately, I have to disagree. While I never had any major problems with them, my company's 401k accounts used to be with them. At the time (this was about 5 years ago) you couldn't have a password longer than 8 characters and they didn't support 2 factor authentication. They had it, just not for your account. It was quite frustrating. Maybe they've finally wised up? But even so, that's hardly keeping up well with tech.

It was even worse, if such a thing is possible. Passwords were case insensitive.

There was an HN discussion about this, but the original article is now lost to the mists of time.
