  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'.
  To stop this from happening follow the instructions below:

   

  Internet Explorer

  • 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

  • Use your mouse to hover over the password you would like to remove and click the X that appears on the right

• Check your cache is empty

  You could be having a problem with file confliction with what has been 'cached' on your machine and what is 'live'.
  Clearing your cache should ensure that this is not the problem.
