You can change 2) and 3), sometimes 1) in your preferences. You can log in from any browser anywhere in the world, no proprietary app necessary.
Hee, seems you in da UK-land have pretty different concept of banking than what we are used to here in the north... Are you still using checkques?

What we in Finland are using is pretty much how @kinggo explained, except that luckily we can also still use the old method of TAN slip codes. (Lucky for me since otherwice I'd be as pissed as my Swedish colleagues who only can generate codes via Androd devices...)

A TAN slip is a piece of paper that your bank mails to you, it contains a list of usually 100 or 250 one-time codes to use with banking.
In addition to that you of course need the account number and password.

The problem is that also the finnish banks would like to move to the Android-App-created BankId system, because it is cheaper to them than mailing the new TAN slip to people few times per year.
I am fearing that day with dread.
