The SiteKey security feature is an additional layer of identity verification for signing in to Online Banking.
SiteKey provides Online Banking customers with protection in two ways:
- It helps you know it's really us - when you see your SiteKey, you can be more confident you're at the valid Online Banking website at Bank of America, and not a fraudulent look-alike site. Only enter your Passcode when you see the SiteKey image and image title you selected.
- It helps us know it's really you - we display your SiteKey when we recognize the device you are logging in from. If you don't sign in from the device you told us to recognize, we'll ask a challenge question.1
To help us better protect you, your SiteKey consists of three parts:
- A unique image you choose
- Your image title - the unique phrase you create to accompany your SiteKey image
- 3 challenge questions only you know the answers to - we'll ask them if you don't sign in from the computer you told us to recognize1
