Note #11812

AQL advise that my password must be "between 5 and 12 characters". In 2018.

  3. I understand that you’d like your electronic password to contain special characters as well as letters and numbers, and I’d like to log this as feedback. If you can DM me your full name and post code, I will do this right away. (2/2) ^BH

  4. Hi Katie. Thanks for your feedback. We take security very seriously, and I’m happy to say that your electronic password will only let you log on and pay existing beneficiaries or check your balance. For new payments you will need a Secure Key or Digital Secure Key. (1/2) ^BH
