Last couple of times I've logged in they've sent me a text with a code to be entered as the final step.
Is this a new feature?
TIA

Yes, but only if you have an active savings account.AnotherJoe said:Last couple of times I've logged in they've sent me a text with a code to be entered as the final step.Is this a new feature?TIA

They've had this for a couple of months now. You should have had emails about it.0

I opened my active savings account with them on Thursday, so that make sense then, thanks. Guess I'll have to get used to it. It's probably not a bad thing, apart perhaps from the 5 minute inactive timeout which could be very annoying.1

I found the 5 minute inactivey timeout very annoying. I use FireFox so I installed the Tab Auto Refresh Moziila extension. It's handy for a few other sites as well, such as MSE

Does anyone know what the government regulations are that force logout after 5 minutes of inactivity if you hold a savings account?0
