   We need some more color commentary with these setups.   
   Like, the versions of things in the working and   
   not working cases, whether the login dialogs look   
   different at all.

   It could be, that the working version is using an   
   authentication token from a few days ago, and when   
   that ages out, that config will stop working too.   
      
   Maybe one setup uses a web browser, the other uses   
   a MyBank Metro.App ?   
      
   Maybe they use 2FA or a pair of FIDO keys or   
   a biometric identification method, or so on.   
      
   You need to paint us enough of a picture so we   
   can make a credible stab at it.   
      
   The picture of the individual used in my example,   
   that's just to establish someone who is in a   
   relaxed frame of mind while logging in.
