Barclays wanted some personal details and dumped me in Docusign... spit!

Now class, how do you write the month in three characters if it is not
the first three letters?

Err, when you asked in September, the answer was to use lower case!!

Why does anyone bother with Docusign when it's clearly not fit for purpose?

On the other hand why do they not use a combo box system as the last time I
looked all months were spelled the same for at least 100 years.

"JNR" - so only the one month as an example; and which is far from intuitive,
And differs from the previous suggestion which was to use lower case. Where
case should be irrelevant to the input anyway .

Barclays/Docusign appear to be departing from best practice

With a limited number of options - 12 in this case - the choice should be made via a
drop down/rotating menu where the opition is highlighted. so as to defeat any possibility
of malicious keystroke logging

Keyboard input should only be adopted where the input possibilities are impossible
to anticipate.

They used to use dropdowns for the secret word input on the Barclaycard site
but have abandoned that on there too.

Er, no they haven't. They've simply changed the forat so the
menus are about three times bigger than they were before.

I see! 3 months starting with a J. found confusing? What do they use for
April and August?

At the risk of further diversion, what happened to the supposed need for
capitalisation due to the links with gods of the time?

JNR, FBY, MCH, APR, MAY, JUN, JLY, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DMR, so five
'unusual' ones.
