Can you not log in via any browser?
What about Linux users?
AB
But they're all doing it all the time. A year ago or so Lloyds and Halifax (my banks) improved their online banking sites so that I could not use them with my version of Firefox, which I cannot upgrade without installing a new version of Windows. Which would require me to buy a new PC. I solved the problem temporarily by installing Opera, but I'm under no illusions that that will last much longer.
It is dependent on the browser you use. Just find one that works.
Sensibles. Change operating system (to something that still has support and security updates).
Or just change the user agent string in the browser.
Or use the librarys W10 computers.
That's much more trouble.
Well as far as Linux goes Barclays smart investor wont work properly with ANY Linux browser.
Works on XP though
D9int work on Linux with Barclays. At a guess it uses javascript to probe the OS, and barfs if it doesnt find MAC IOS. Android or WinPC
Can you not spoof with a browser add-on?
PS: didn't mean to email you, for some reason Thunderbird has snuck back the 'reply' button I long since removed!
I don't use that, but have got as far as signing up with no problems using Opera on Linux Mint.
Oh, as a P.S. I do use Barclays online banking and Nationwide on the same laptop.
Well this morning I wanted to check my scheduled payments whilsy mat home with my laptop. I only got a very limited access as I was to lazy to fetch my mobile phone or card and reader. Later I went upstairs and gained access without being asked for any code, as also happened a couple of days ago.
The Inland Revenue let you choose which number to send the code to but the bank is not so flexible.
On 'smart investor' website?
Nope.
Do you use smart investor tho
I can go past this page:

by entering valid information, but have no intention going further.
No.
And probably windows 7 soon, so do it on your mobile. Brian
