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

I found some new ones on mine. One that will find my phone and let the kids know where I am if I get lost. Haha.

@celticeagle That would be good when I'm really old and don't know where I am.

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 feel that way too BUT, I have too many points on this site to just up and quit using it so I was determined to get in.

@celticeagle I've dumped sites I liked for little or no reason. There is always another site waiting for me to find it.

I hate it when things go that way. So frustrating.

If the application does not want to cooperate then it should not be used.

That would seem plausible but when you have accrued many points it's hard to just quit using a site.

I've had to do that. It can be the pain in my butt.

And I have many points on there, so I don't want to just quit using the site.

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.

It's annoying when that happens. There always has to be one that does that.

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