My bank is a lot more careful then this. I actually called them a few days ago to get a password, and they asked:

* SSN?

* Full name?

* How long have you been with the bank?

* How many accounts do you have?

* Do you have a business account?

* How many business accounts?

* What's the name of the business?

* Have you set up auto-debit?

* Have you set up electronic-debit?

* To what companies?

* What was your last charge on your credit card?

* Do you have any monthly transfers set up?

* For what amounts?

* Do you have any loans?

* Do you own any investment funds?

* Which?

* Have you reset the password before?

* <My security question>?

* How many two-factor auth thingies do you have?

* Serial number on your two-factor auth thingy?

* Model of the above?

Are the questions I recall. So at least not every bank is careless enough to only require you to name a recent transaction.
