   It may be that the bank uses a form of two step notification where when   
   you first log in to the bank the bank puts a key on your computer.   The   
   next time you log on you enter your id and pass word the bank request   
   the key, if the key can not be provided the log in fails. Usually when   
   you first log on from a new system with the key authentication the first   
   time the bank will text or email a number to enter, the number will   
   authenticate the log in and the key will be saved.    From the computer   
   you can successfully login from you may check your profile and insure   
   that your phone number can receive text and all of your other   
   information is correct.   
      
   There was a time with our bank when the same thing was happening both   
   computer were at the same update level of Windows 10.   When login in   
   with the same password and id, one computer would fail the other log in   
   successfully.   
      
   I would call the bank and ask them for help.
