Ja strular hela tiden och nu kommer jag inte in på min Internetbank!!!

Göran Olsson, 2024-01-21

I have to say, DITTO to: "I have the same problem as others are having. I am on a secure website, but when opening the next page on same website I am always blocked. I did not have this problem before. Even after I add it to the "allow website" list, I still have the same problem. And it's only on certain websites. It's really annoying. I then have to go to that website on another device so I can take care of business."
