    What if someone sent you a fake text though? How far down this rabbit hole do you want to go?

    At a guess I'd say they probably had more failed log-ins and people getting confused by using three numbers, particularly those that might only log-in occasionally.

    They don't text you to tell you. As someone has already said it was in "my messages". I'm pretty sure I got a pop up to tell me too but that was logging in on a laptop not the app.

    5 digits is no hardship and nothing dodgy op.

    Perhaps not dodgy. Would still like to know from the horses mouth.

    But if you accidentally give out the entire code to a scammer because that's exactly what the official app asks then they will have the entire code to get in, if it's asking last 2 or last 3 etc there's going to be a lockout after 3 wrong attempts. They have basically completely destroyed their own security, whoever thought of it should be shown the door.

    No text. Sure if you got a text you'd definitely think it was dodgy!

    To thine own self be true

    I seem to remember an actual letter as well as the my messages but you have to log in to see those

    Too be honest they always asked for the same 3

    App is working fine.

    I updated app a few months ago, notice has been on desktop log in site for months that they were upgrading security.

    OP - if you’re concerned about fraud then enter a random incorrect 5 digit code. Say 16945

    You won’t be scammed then.

    Fair enough. Unless I talk to a person. Won't be exchanging 5 numbers.

    Agreed, absolutely no other reason for the change. Personally don’t care. Quicker with the 5....and their app is superb.

    As an aside, tried calling today to cancel his & hers credit cards that have sat in wallets for years unused. Ridiculous paying 240 per yr for the privilege. 1hr 12mins in a queue. Gave up.

    Alright, you broke me

    It's a big conspiracy and everyone posting here is in on it

    Never enter your 5 digits on the AIB App

    Was changed to 5 numbers a couple of months ago when app updated, desktop also went to phone authentication.

    That is fair enough. Simple phone call would solve it. Verification.

    It's two or three stage security now so just having the PAC won't work. Your phone is linked to your account so you can just log in using the PAC (you're already 'semi' logged in...)
    If you try it on a fresh device you won't be able to log in just using the PAC.

    The brief insights we get into the hell of customer service here make me shudder.

    Bless anyone who is on the end of a phoneline to the great unwashed, it must be tough.
