Halifax Login page appearance changed?

Yesterday I noticed that the login page to Halifax Online looked different.

The second stage where you enter three random characters from your password was different from what It has been for years.

It looked as if it had been redesigned to help users who might have vision problems, larger print etc. I wasn't asked for any additional info to login, the session was perfectly normal and this morning the login was back to normal.

I rang Halifax and the person I spoke to told me my account was fine, but he "thought he remembered someone else raising this yesterday".

I ran a virus check on my PC and it came back clear.

Just wondered if anyone else had seen this.

Now you mention it, I think I noticed this when logging into Halifax yesterday. I remember being taken aback by something being "not quite right", which caused me to close my browser and double-check I was on the genuine Halifax site, but it all looks normal again today.

For the first time I have just had to put in a code sent to my phone like a lot of other banks and building soc

Looks the same to me.
Opened it up through Lastpass as per normal and all was the same on Edge

I noticed it on Wednesday, but late yesterday it seemed to change back to the previous design (for Halifax, BOS and LBG), also coincidentally with the transactions in the app showing logo's for retailers, this has now been reverted too. Must have had to role an update back, so I assume it is something which could re-appear shortly.

Same with Lloyds bank site - everything looks bigger and clearer.

Yes they ask for extra logins so you may get asked for this code. They ask  if you trust this device and usually then they don't ask every time but i noticed if you clear your cookies any time they do ask again.

Got a question about logging in to Halifax and Lloyds now on my PC - every time I'm asked for the 6 digit verification code sent to my mobile. I read about setting a trusted device if always logging in from the same device as I do - so how does one set their device to be a trusted device? I see no mention in the help pages on how to do this and I've never been asked if I want my PC to be a trusted device. Any clues appreciated

I had this 'bigger, clearer' Halifax login page on Thursday, again seems to have gone back now to what it was before. They must be tinkering.

When I logged in with the app yesterday there was a flash message saying that I'd notice their new interface.  Can't say that I noticed any functional differences, but the log in page certainly had a visibly larger clean font.

What is weird - it's showing both Halifax / BoS accounts in each other's app. 

Hate that!!
