    HTTPS protocols are their own layer on encryption, so accessing e-mail and bank accounts should still be relatively safe.

Emphasis on "relatively." The folks who found this vulnerability to WPA2 note in their explanation that plenty of vulnerabilities in the implementation have been found in HTTPS, too. So it's a case of a single point of failure rather than redundancy.
