Security of banking on phones.

After some flaffing about I got the Barclays App going for my Android Samsung. The detailed procedure for approval was huge and included the use of my card reading code generator thingie and also TXT codes. Impressive. However, the password to enter the accounts is only five, must be numerical, digits.

With these five figures I can see several accounts and no doubt manipulate my funds. Haven't had to do that yet and not sure I will.

Given how secure the PC's access is, just how is this acceptable?
