I've attached this to the Barclays thread deliberately.

I check my bank accounts (various) regularly - but often I go through the
hoops imposed just to find that nothing has happened since my last visit.

My idea is that banking sites could, and perhaps should, record an IP
address and a simple reference and place a unique cookie on my machine
accordingly, and then advise if the balance had changed since the last
account access.

This could save me loads of time!

If there's no change since the last access on my 'fixed' machine (IP
address range), then I really don't need to go through lots of security
hurdles; account references, passwords etcetera.

No one else will know my balance - just that the balance hasn't changed
since the last access - and only me will know when that was.

If it had, I could then go through the tedious login procedure and find
what had changed to transfer to my spreadsheet    - and then find my
precise last-login time.

If there's no change, I can skip all that and go and do something else!

Does anyone have any idea how I can promulgate this idea to all UK
internet-friendly banks?  Or world-wide even!

All the time saved could be spent on something more worthwhile!
