#4727 — Barclays internet banking

FromJ <John_news@demon_ology.co.uk>
Date2012-04-03 10:32 +0100
SubjectBarclays internet banking
Message-ID<527a8de014John_news@demon_ology.co.uk>
Since Barclays "up"graded their internet banking I am totally locked
out on Iyonix 5.16 using either !Netsurf 2.8, Netsurf 3.0 latest dev,
!Oregano2 or even !Pheonix (Errors with .... not currently available)
Same with mobile site; can't get in.

All available on Windows 7 machine and Chrome, but can't extract pdf of
"home" page which is a terrible nuisance, and download of excel data is
a jumbled mess.

Am I all alone in this wilderness?

Same here with Fresco and Netsurf on RiscPC, both of which worked perfectly
before.
Looks like they've 'fixed' something that wasn't broken - again.
I do wish they wouldn't keep doing this.

Have you tried complaining? I did when it first started many years ago 
and I couldn't access it with my RPC, and they sorted things. The guy I
spoke to actually knew what RISC OS was.

 I'm not bothered now since I also have a PC.

A similar thing happened way back with HSBC, who restored NetSurf 
after grumbles from some of us. However, their latest "improvement" 
has totally scuppered that.

Ditto. I'm afraid that becomes ever more necessary.

With best wishes,

FWIW it also screws up on Firefox > 10 under Linux :(
Opera seems OK.

It's a crap site now. Those pale washed out colours are a nightmare for those
of us with less than perfect eyesight. I used their survey to point out it was

Those surveys don't actually do anything.  The BBC's new home page was
almost universally despised, and I complained very loudly in their
survey.  Fact is, if a company's spent a lot of money to develop a total
pile of crap, they're not just going to swallow their pride and admit
they tipped it all down the drain.  If a website's got as far as
requesting suggestions for changes from members of the public, it's
already a done deal in its present state.

Exactly my thoughts about the new Multiple Sclerosis Society website. 
If our branch treasurer, who is a lot more computer savvy than I am, 
can't find how to renew her membership on the site, there's something 
wrong. But do the muppets who designed the site care? No, they just 
rejoice in their "cleverness".

End of rant.

With best wishes,

Peter. (About to step down from maintaining the Branch website)

For what it's worth this is what i sent to Barclays. I'm not holding my breath
and am now thinking about looking around for another bank - I'm not overly
hopeful on that count either :(


Dear sirs,

I am writing to complain about the disasterous and inexplicable changes you
have made to the online banking website.

The first thing I noticed is that you silently redirect from the URL I know
well to a different one. This is something that is a well known ploy used by
criminals to hijack a link. Are you trying to make it easier for them by
getting people used to such unannounced redirects?

Secondly, your site will now not work at all without javascript being enabled.
This is another extremely well known, and often reported security nightmare. Do
you have so little concern for your customers, that you will deliberately put
them at risk?

I have a good memory. This is just as well, because, again without warning, you
have reverted to the full 12 digit membership number. Why? On the occasion that
you shortened it, you at least warned us in advance.

Why have you changed the scheme to insipid washed out  colours? Many of us do
not have 20-20 eyesight and now have to wind up the contrast to maximum to be
able to read the text at all. Similarly there seems to be no consistency to the
interface - no logical flow – not that it was especially good before.

For years I have used Firefox as my browser of choice on top of Debian Linux.
This combination has consistently remained reliable and secure and fully
updated. Sudenly I can no longer use it on your site. When I try to look at my
current account some kind of loop is initiated that locks up Firefox
completely. Yours is the only website that does this, from many hundreds I
visit on a regular basis, including a number of significant financial
institutions. The only way I was able to get to my details was to use a little
known, far less secure browser. This might have been understandable in 1999 but
is quite unacceptable in 2012.

Yours sincerely,

Well done, hopefully that should at the very least get a response or excuse.

FWIW I have just managed to get in again OK with Fresco using the membership
number method.

I seem to enjoy?? more success if I delete Fresco's cache in !Scrap before
connecting, and also by choosing not to save the cookie. Whether this has
just been coincidence or not is a tough call, but might be worth a try if
you can't get in at all.

I've also noticed that where it asks for 2 characters from the memorable
word, the second character that is asked for is 100% consistently the
seventh character.

Having read the above, I went to access my Barclays account.
It worked perfectly using Fresco on my RISC PC using RISC OS 4.02

When I checked it earlier today I couldn't even get to the login page. So
I assumed something else had changed since the other day - but I didn't
try on the PC. Having tried again now on the RPC I can log in - but it
says service not available.

That's what happens with me using Fresco.

When using Netsurf 2.8, I get to the authentication section OK and can enter
the 5-digit passcode but the two drop-down menus for the memorable word
characters are not present - only a small blue help icon next to where the
first menu should be.

Are you sure that you are banking with Barclays?  Doesn't sound anything
like the one I use, no request for passcode or memorable word.

I get the options to use Membership number (12 characters), card number or
sort code & account number.

Like Dave I can go through the whole process, pin sentry and all, just to
get the 'Service not available' message.

Yes. I get that, it asks for my surname and then I put in my 12 digit
number.

I then get asked for my 5-digit passcode and two drop-down menus for
two letters of my password.

When I have entered these, I click on "log in" and I am into my account.

Interesting.  I do the same, though these days I use my card number rather
than the annoyingly long membership number.

Then I am asked for the last 4 digits of my card number and for the number
provided by the pin sentry.  Presumably you have opted to not use the pin
sentry?

How did you avoid getting one?  They were issued, I thought to all Barclays
customers, a couple of years ago or so.  In principle they are a good idea
but it can be annoying if you don't have it handy.  I've acquired two so
far, having mislaid one after a trip abroad only for it to turn up when I
next looked in my travel documents pouch.

Things have become much easier all round with Barclays' security with the
abandonment of the demand for the Membership number as the only way to get
into the system - that was a right pig in being too long to remember
reliably and needing to be looked up every time.

But rather more secure than a credit card number? Everyone you've ever
used it with knows that.

But that's no great use to them unless they actually have the card in their
hand and access to a pinsentry or know your other security details.  If
they know those other details then they probably know your membership
number as well.
