    Step 4 was a security feature in the past it has been redundant for sometime now.i quite liked the feature as you selected the image and phrase so when you logged on it confirmed to you that you where on the legitimate site
    I think Tesco Bank used this feature as well, maybe five years ago?
    Doesn't the Barclays app have a user-chosen phrase on it's home page?

    Can't check, on different device. 
    It does yes. Santander let you choose a profile background e.g. pets so I guess that is a possible tell if you load the app

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
