If you’re trying to register for a Bank of Ireland account and the form fails silently, don’t worry, it’s simple to find out what happened and fix it.

1. Open up developer tools on your browser
2. Copy the failed regular expression from the console
3. Put it, and your generated password into Regexr (regexr.com)

And voila, as you can see the problem with mine* was that it hit the 16 character limit which was, to keep things exciting, not mentioned on the page.

Simples.

What muppets!

* Don’t worry, it’s a different one now.
