    For people setting up the SMS option, please be aware that this is a very insecure mode of authentication, and really shouldn't be used at all. AIB really shouldn't be offering it.

    Probably, but what's the alternative?

    Is the Card Reader option safer than SMS ?

    ok so today my phone (vodafone model) had a software update available. when i installed it, the authentication from the web browser finally worked so at last i'm finally able to access my aib accounts, statements from my laptop again.

    edit: i spoke too soon. seems it only let me access the bank accounts from my laptop for the first time.

    then any time after that it would time out again when trying to authenticate from the browser.

    until i restarted my phone and went back into the app and then tried to log in again from the laptop.


    so at the moment in order to access my aib accounts from the browser on my laptop, i need to restart my phone, open and log into the aib app, then try logging in through my browser on my laptop.
