Wrong. Bank of America uses "SafePass": a one time password card
("liquid paper" window) that generates numbers, 12 (six at a time with a
press of a button), accounting for 10^12 random numbers -- to
authenticate users to their on-line accounts. So far it's been optional,
leaving users to chose it or not. The users pay a small one-time fee. I
think I paid $20USD. They have been doing thins for about five years.

PayPal and eBay have way way more than 10 million users and they do it
too, -- again for about five years so far.
