Are Two-Page Logins More Secure?

[blitzen]

I noticed banks are starting to use a 2-page logins.
Is this more secure and why?
What type of attacks are they protecting you against?

Most likely attempts to prevent clickjacking - it is in the interest of major banks to change their login processes fairly often to prevent malware authors' exploitation of users' accounts (passwords may be saved in the browser's password cache and then used to log in to the site without the end user's knowledge, should the end user visit a site hosting a malicious script).

Thank you! It's amazing the new ways people think about to sabotage the Net.

The main reason for the 2 pages is to make sure the Secure Socket Layer is in place, and you are aware that it is in place.

I don't think they can provide more security because if someone can break into the first one can also go for breaking the second one....also the time and bandwidth will be consumed more for the user!!!

and should be troublesome for users for having to pass by two login pages and entering their login info. for both

Its mostly protection against phishing attempts in banks case
Nobody is going to hack bank directly but will use phishing technique but most phishers after getting the first user and password have to redirect u to some other page,so u don't suspect anything
Most of them are designed that way althought there are some advanced ones that will catch redirect u to second fake login and catch other info to
