Does anyone else on AB use it please?

it's driving me crazy.

[Redhelen72]

Yes - I do - can I help

 

[pastafreak]

I do...though nothing complicated. No problems. 

[Khandro]

I keep having to change my password and pin, recieve sms number but when I try again later I'm told I"ve given the wrong information

When you log in there are 3 squares for the pin & 3 for the password, is the first box for the pin already done for you?

 

[quizman55]

No, the details will change every time, so if your password has 8 letters it might ask for the 3rd, 5th & 8th. Next time it could be 1st, 4th & 6th. Same with the number, 3 out of the four will be asked, not necessarily in order, eg. mght ask for 4th, 1st, 3rd, this again may be different next time.

Maybe you saved a password for it when you shouldn't of. Clear all passwords and browser history and try again

[Countrylover]

Khando.  Just type your numbers UNDER the numbers in the box.  I struggled because I just thought you tapped anwhere in the in the box.

[Redhelen72]

I use the app and had issues with passwords - ended up doing facial recognition - no more problems.

Have you tried their helpdesk they are very good

[Countrylover]

If you are over 60.  Phone the number 0800 051 4176.  They will talk you through the whole process.  They did for me this week.  I call it the Nat West Old Fogey Line.  You get through quickly and they are trained to help older or disabled  people.  They are so helpful.

[Khandro]

Thanks, but the first box of the top 3 is already 'filled in' i.e. it has a static dot in it as though it has already been filled.

I cleared my cache of cookies (which is a bore cos it means I have to login again to many sites)

 

I spent an hour today talking to people of mixed incomprehensible accents & the last chap said he would send me an email telling me how to solve my problems - which of course didn't & suggested I add an app - & I don't use a smart phone !

> it has a static dot in it as though it has already been filled

Delete each dot and then put in the correct value.

[Khandro]

 Countrylover; That's interesting, thank you. That's a UK number I take it?

 

[pastafreak]

I have the app on my phone, and my tablet.

All I need to enter is my passcode...the same numbers every time. I've not done the different sequence each time in ages.

[Khandro]

Ellipsis: Bingo! I just tried to delete the dot, which doesn't work first time (as I've been doing) but I persisted 3 times and it cleared making me able to enter the correct number & after an SMS-sent security code number I got into my account

Fingers crossed that may have been the problem.

Thanks to all.  

[Countrylover]

Yes a UK number khandro.  Its brilliant and so useful.  I never use the main number now.

Sounds like Natwest needs to move into the 21st century and change to using card-readers, like Barclays, Nationwide et al.

A few seconds and you're into your account.

I've had a Nest West card reader for years.

[gingejbee]

^so why all the hassle with passwords, codes, SMS messages?

[Ellipsis]

Glad it's sorted ...

[Khandro]

Countrylover: Thanks for that info. I'm over 60 & it might be useful, I've printed it out.

I too have a NatWest card reader, but they don't ask for its use, they seem to prefer SMS'

Ellipsis: Thanks again, there must be some glitch making the first square appear already filled in and the second one flashing.

I now see it needs clicking on several times to clear the box in order to insert the number. Cheers!
