Does anyone know what's going on with their logins for email and account ?
They say that it's simply www.bt.com/email for email and www.bt.com/login for bt account.
But these both lead to long url's which keep changing and then don't work after a while when saved.
Also the latest bt.com/login leads to an error page but allows login to mybt - ?!
Is there a simple way to avoid this nonsense ?

    Well the login page goes to https://home.bt.com/login/loginform if you follow the link on the bottom bt.com/login
    And the email page goes to a page to log into your email.


    Not sure what you're looking at?

    Create a bookmark which is for the original urls (www.bt.com/email and www.bt.com/login) and not the session based ones that get created.

    It may be that you need to create the bookmark against the session on and then edit it if you don't know how to manually create one.

    Basically, you are making the bookmarks at the wrong point. Trying to jump into the middle of a session rather than the landing page. 

    Don’t bookmark the long url, bookmark bt.com/email  etc.
