Barclays Smart Investor

[Sterillium]

I've had a share portfolio with Barclays for years. Simple little thing, it was, and every week I'd log in, see what my shares had been up to and sell a few off, buy some more, etc etc...

However it's now all been upgraded to a flashy "Smart Investor" thing... anyone else use this?

A few grumbles:

> It's now linked to all my Barclays online banking, so rather than logging to to my share, I have to do the bloody PIN sentry thing every time, to then be confronted with current account, savings account and ISAs on the same starting page as my share portfolio.

> I can't seem to find a "daily % change" tab anywhere... which is (in my opinion) one the things I want to see for all my holdings every time I open the thing.

> I hate it.

Anyone any better at making this interface work? Or does anyone use a different and simpler / better / more old fashioned one that I'd like better..?

You can change the settings in Barclays so, you only need a passcode and a password to log in. You only need to use the pin sentry if you want to set up a new payment.

I can't seem to manage this...!

The box in the top right hand corner with your name in it, click on that and it should give you the option.
