    Nope, usual biometric login working here (Android).

    Are you being literal with that request description? The "memorable information" is 6-15 characters (if you look to change it online).

    Mine rarely asks me for any of that. Assume you didnt set up fingerprint then?

    update for if anyone else has same issue

    rang their Online banking customer services line (on hold for 1/2 hour….)

    very helpful chap said someone else just rang him with same issue

    it's not me/you ! It's an issue with them

    I had to change my memorable information whilst I was on the phone and now everything is OK

    it was weird cos I had the exact same issue when I tried to login on their website too

    Imagine having memorable info thats 26 characters long!

    Ta for info.

    Imagine having memorable info thats 26 characters long!

    Depends what is meant by "memorable", some of mine are pretty long but I've no idea what they are - my password manager both generates and remembers them.
