    • Select ‘Options’ & then select the ‘Privacy’ tab

    Some browsers may ask you if you wish the browser to save your password. This can be a useful and time-saving option for some single password sites.

     

    However, AIB (NI) Online Banking will ask for different digits from your PAC each time. In this case a browser with a 'saved password' will try to use the wrong 'password'.

    • Click on 'Tools' at the top of the browser window. For Internet Explorer 9, 10 & 11 the tools option is a small circular icon at the top right hand corner of the page
