My macbook air is c.2017 and I've accessed it no problem. Guess the tipping point is sometimes prior.

I use Safari on my 2015 Mac , no issues.

What version of macOS and Safari?
FNBO also told me that its online banking system does not work with a Chromebook. Which is what I have. So the only way for me to get into my account online is to use the Android app on my cellphone. I don't find that a very secure option.That explains why I can access the site on my iPhone 13 mini but not my 2015 MacBook
I have had no problem with the FNBO site using a MAC (Safari), PC, or Chromebook. Granted the devices, I’ve used are all current production, less than a year old.
I have not had any problem with the FNBO web site (both versions) using the devices (Win 11, iPhone, iPad) and Apps (FNBO, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) albeit all of them are kept completely upto date as far as software version goes, in order to minimize security holes.

That's a 5 year old OS that hasn't seen a security update in over 2 years. Time to upgrade.
Heaven know how many free riders are running on it helping mount denial of service attacks and such. Time to upgrade to block those holes at least, and access to FNBO will improve as a side benefit.
What is it that you regard as insecure? Is it the cellphone, the FNBO app, Android OS or what?
MacOS High Sierra (2017) 10.13.6. Chrome Version 107.0.5304.110 . As i said, no problems. My problems sometimes occur with Amtrak's website while booking. I use the app now.

Something something phone not safe. Something something scary “new” technology.
For me the switchover has gone without a glitch. So far. I'm about to get a "refund to original form of payment" for a purchase made with my Bank of America card, so I'll be curious to see if it posts smoothly. If it doesn't? Eh, I'm sure I'll be notified by the vendor, or something. Not sweating it.

I had to deal with that with a Costco.com refund and it went through without a hitch.

Any speculation on how "churnable" this card may be? Hoping I can cancel/reapply once every 12-15 months like the old BA card?
I have no idea with FNBO. They don’t get the attention of the points and miles world like say Chase, Amex, and Citi does.
I was thinking about the churnability the other day. I’ve decided to leave well enough alone for at least a couple of years. I’ll let others be the guinea pig. AKA……….learn from the success or mistakes of others.

Has anyone tried signing up for both the regular no AF card and the preferred card?
What would be the point in that?
To get another signup bonus.
I got both cards when they were under BofA. It's not known, yet, if FNBO will allow it. Obviously I and others who have both were at least grandfathered in.

I have both (from the BoA days). I use one for everyday expenses and the other for unusual expenses like car maintenance. I pay off the everyday expenses card each month. The other gives me the opportunity of paying partial over a month or more, but I usually pay it off, too, each month.
I see from an email received today that Amtrak is promoting "AutoPay for your FNBO credit card.
The link takes you to the FNBO sign-in page.
EDIT, added: Looking close at the sender of the email, it is FNBO, not Amtrak!

I Had to arm wrestle with FNBO to get them to delete interest and late fees Which resulted after the transition.
They've really been pushing auto pay and eliminate options. Since they will not accept ACH direct transfer from my bank I'm experimenting with my bank mailing them a check. Seems like a primitive option in order to force auto pay. I will not do it.
