The WORST customer service. Glitchy site

Log in isn't recognising my memorable word. I tried resetting it, still not working. Searched Google; apparently an issue for several users.

Back and forth several messages - me trying to get across that there's a glitch in the website.

So not user friendly

So not user friendly : Was very complicated to log in. Link key was at the bottom of text message. How on earth would an older person manage who's not tech savy. And with my GP practice you still have to phone them as you can't book appointment through this site. So what is the point of it ?
