Greetings Folks, Probably not a Linux issue (though it could be).
Anyone else having trouble logging in to their Barclays Bank online banking using their new interface (which went live this morning)?
On the machine which I've usually used for this (somewhat slow, smallish RAM), which has always worked OK in the past, with the new interface my browser (Firefox) is completely choked and goes bananas.
I then used another machine (faster, more RAM) and didn't get that trouble (Browser = Iceweasel); but even so had to try a few times before their system would recognise my details ("didn't match our records").
When I phoned up their helpline, I was finally "talked through" a login. What I was told to enter for URL was
A: www.ibank.barclays.co.uk
and this led to a successful login. What I usually use is
B: https://ibank.barclays.co.uk
Both lead to the same apparent page:
https://ibank.barclays.co.uk/olb/m/LoginMember.do
but it was B which gave the problems. I was told by the Indian lady not to use entries stored in "Favourites" (yuk) or in Bookmarks "for security reasons", but to type it in explicitly.
There are some other details I could give, if it was of interest; but I'm mainly interested at the moment in whether other people have been having similar problems.
Best wishes to all, Ted.
