Lloyds/Halifax keep confirming my phone numbers

Every time I log on to Lloyds or Halifax, the following page asks if my home, mobile and work phone numbers are still correct. I click 'confirm' and they say 'Thank you for confirming your numbers have not changed' (or words to that effect). The work number is blank, as I've been retired a long time.
I get that they need to check occasionally, but every time? Is this just me, or are others getting this frequently as well?

    can't remember the last time Halifax asked for an update.  maybe they just don't want to talk to me ever....

    I think I get asked for confirmation once or twice a year, definitely not every time I log in to either Lloyds or Halifax.

    Yes, prior to this month I was occasionally asked to check my contact details are correct, but this month it's been every time (about six times in total), so I thought I'd mention it here, see if it's widespread.
