I normally log in using my fingerprint and still can.

But I noticed my memorable phrase flash up very briefly. And if I hit cancel to enter my pin the memorable phrase displays permanently.

Trying to explain this in the chat to someone in Mumbai is like trying to get blood out of a stone.

Am I being thick?

On the Barclaycard app you sign in with either a PIN or biometrics. The 'phrase' is for you to know that it is Barclaycard. i.e. it is meant to show you the phrase so you know it's secure and the genuine app. The 'phrase' is not a password.

I think it's for those websites that link directly to a bank transfer or payment and open the app / web page for you, so you know you are authorising Barclaycard.

Under Settings > Change memorable word... "We always show this when we ask you for your passcode to confirm that you are using the genuine app. A fake app or website won't display this information". If you've made it a sensitive word obviously just change it to something meaningless.
