So Frustrating...

I set up my new phone yesterday. I love it! Today I go to do my usual tasks on several apps. I have to resign in to each one. Many are so easy and I fly through set ups--no problem. But there has to be one that gives me a bad time. It gives me a code that I have to get from my email. I do that, put it in. Then it says to put it in. I just did! I do it again. At the bottom of the page where I just put in the code it says to put in the code. I DID!
I went through all the steps several times. Now this code is only going to be good for 10 minutes. I finally send for a new code. I try that.
Do I really want into this account that badly?
I finally had my grandson try it. He had issues too but it finally went through. GHEEZ! No, it wasn't just me.
I do love that the new phone gives me the updated versions of all the aps I use.

I would have dumped that account/app the second time it asked for the same code. If they're too much trouble, I don't need them.

I'm glad that most of it went well. The young people are a great fall-back plan when technology becomes a bit too much for us oldies.

I'm just getting into using apps on my phone. Most of them were already on the phone.

That's really annoying. The problem is with the app and not the phone.
