Same happened me. 

Turn your phone sideways to landscape mode. 

It then works. Apply button on right hand side. 

Still didn't work for me but did it OK on my laptop. The maddest set of security questions I've ever seen.  I have no hero, no favourite car and favourite film is too many characters and has a space, as 2 words. Just had to make random stuff up and write it down!

Only one I haven't seen before is the hero.
Do you not drive then?
Could have ignored the space

I got creative with the answers for each of their dumb questions.

Screenshotted them too so I can answer should I forget.

You should be able to choose from a list or set your own question and answer.

Also dumb is no caps or special characters, goes against everything I'm used to with setting up online accounts tbh.

And no spaces and character limit rules out so many people's favourite films and cars.

Not really. Just use the first 10 chars, omitting any spaces.

I don't really get how this has generated so much discussion, it's a bit clunky but it's not a usability disaster.

Agree. I found it very straightforward. Answered all 3 with honest answers that I'll remember as they're true. Couldn't be simpler tbh.

I hope its time to now move on folks.

Possibly because they'll using them for telephone security too.

I telephoned MHBS 3 times and wasn't asked any ridiculous questions, just the usual security questions - name, address, DoB... I didn't know my account number yet, and even that didn't prompt them to ask me who my hero is.

You will require them when you login

No cars or heroes required for login. Just need your ID typed (copy/paste don't work), password and they send you passcode in text message.

Right click and paste may not work but "shift + insert" does.

Principality BS 6 month regular saver 

Mistakingly deposited £250 into my account. Does anybody know what they will do?
Can't see anything relating to overpayments.

Cheers

In my experience, payments to Principality are normally credited on the same working day or the next day if sent in the evening but that may not happen at the weekends so my guess is that if you've sent that today, the payment will be rejected and returned to you on Monday, although there's a chance you may not receive it until Tuesday depending on when it gets processed on Monday.

Cheers much appreciated.

Actually got the £50 refunded on Sunday which is very helpful. I'm a Barclays customer so maybe that's why.

Cheers

Made my initial payment into Market Harborough RS, an exact COP match required first initial and surname, despite them formatting my name in the online account area as Title First Initial Middle Initial Surname. 

They also omitted a letter from my title when carrying out the ID check, but I had downloaded the confirmation and was able to verify that the error was not of my making. Wasn’t asked for ID thankfully, as would have had to ask for a paper statement and wait for it to be delivered before being able to comply.

Nationwide

The OH Reg Saver matured today and to open the new 6.5% edition has failed in the app earlier today. Intend was to open the new edition today to deposit £200 today and again tomorrow to maximise the interest of the 13 contributions possible. It does say Instant Access Saver 10 in the app and the funds plus interest are there and accessible. 

Their system is saying a reg saver is still active and that you can have only one issue, etc.

Any advice on possibilities to open it today?

subjecttocontract

Usually need to wait up to 24 hours. If I were you I'd try again later this afternoon.
Mine matured Friday, wasn't able to open new account until today.

Your OH should be able to apply for the new Nationwide RS after midnight tonight
