Overall the approach to web security at banks and other organizations in Israel has been very badly thought through. IME changing one's password regularly increases the security risk rather than reducing it, unless there is a good reason to do so such as a breach.
Agreed 100%. That's what makes the password so annoying as I'm always coming up with something new that satisfies the ridiculous requirements.
For UA, you have a password and PIN. The password and PIN I have have been the same since 2007 at least. Never had any issues whatsoever.

Which bank?!
