If you only have to type your password monthly in order to login, that suggests your bank has a very lax security model. I presume you never actively logout when you've finished the day's business. Many banks nowadays use two factor authentication, and automatically log you out after a period of inactivity. Furthermore, they often require reauthentication in order to make any withdrawals.
