Your GP had "it meant they were sufficiently convinced about my identity to let me transfer money out, but not enough to let me login in. Insane", and your parent is explaining why that's a non-insane thing.

GP here. I found every part of the process insane. To enumerate:
1) getting locked out for not having the CVV of some random card that expired a decade earlier
2) being allowed to transfer money out, but not to login into the account
3) being allowed to keep my second account, even though they don't trust me enough to give me access to the first
None of these make sense individually, and they make even less sense as a whole.
They probably couldn't see the CVV but were going to run the card and see if it verified.

fair enough
Does it become acceptable to require the blood of my first-born because the risk levels are different?
Of course not. They're not even allowed to store that in the US (PCI-DSS), so the other poster must not be in the US.
