Maybe it's just me but . . . a text today from the doctors surgery.

Was it asking me to submit some (home done) results for my blood pressure? NO
Was it asking me to come in for a yearly health check? NO
Was it anything at all to do with present or future health issues I may have? NO

It was a text stating their 2026 Spring News Letter is now available online at www.blah.blah.blah

I have no interest in who has joined or who has left the practice, which of the receptionists (we can squeeze you in next week) can now answer the phone in 7 different languages, or that Janet the cleaner is having another baby.
Just shove that crap on Facebook where it belongs :mad:

Yes I'm fine Hugh, thanks for asking . . which is more than my bloody doctor does :rofl:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I use Microsoft Authenticator app across 3 devices to protect myself if a device dies.

The only way to sync across a device is to turn on cloud backup on the main device uninstall the app on the other device and then do a recovery when reinstalling.

This worked in the past but Ive spent an hour faffing around because it kept failing on the recover, I was starting to consider switching apps.

My fix was to turn the backup off on the main account and on again and very quickly do a recovery on the other devices, if I wait too long it will cause a recovery fail again.

I use Googles tied to my Google account on my Google phone and when I upgrade it will be to another google phone like this one come from. :-) I hate Apple and do not like bloated 3rd party android manufacturers like Samsung and well all of em who skin it and would need me to visit XDA to find a AOSP Rom for it

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I don't like Googles because there is no password or fingerprint option for unlocking the app other than a phone password.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Mine is fingerprint

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My Samsung phone has Fingerprint, and its 5 years old.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My old Samsung has fingerprints all over it :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My Pixel 8 Pro has fingerprint and face recognition for Apps…

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'm talking about the Google Authenticator app not having a fingerprint option or password when you open it, has that changed?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Open settings and toggle privacy screen

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Thank you that's new to me, I wonder how long they have had that option.

Edit - August 2024.

Edit - I have Privacy screen on my Pixel phone but not on my Samsung tablet, I wonder if it's another setting somewhere.

The app was likely in deep sleep so after updating it I now have that option.

Many Samsung tablets dont have a fingerprint scanner, mine doesnt.
