Here's how my rep replied to my email today:
"Schwab takes online security very seriously, and all clients are protected against fraud with our SchwabSafe guarantee. This guarantee is available to review online at www.schwab.com/schwabsafe.
"I reviewed the website you referenced in your email, but this is well outside my area of expertise. To discuss these items, I would suggest you contact our Technology Support Group at the Help Desk. Their number is 800-433-9196."
Uh, no. I'm not going to sit on the phone waiting to tell your Help Desk about why they shouldn't store my password in their DB; that's your fuckin job. I'm much more inclined to spend that hour and a half moving my accounts somewhere secure.
