Suggestions on a Windows USB login Key

I frequently have to log into multiple laptops either using my regular AD acct or my Administrator account and both passwords are long and the Administrator password changes every 30 days.


I was hoping someone could suggest a USB key that I could use to enter these credentials, change change when needed and use it to enter either my regular or Administrator credentials instead of me needing to type them in myself.



I don't need mult factor authentication, just the username and password for either my regular AD account or my Administrator account.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you.
Most newer androids have an option for setting as security key for google, not sure if google is integrated in your laptops.

You can also buy USB keys. Just don't lose lol

Help My S5e has been restarted randomly in every 2-10 hours, what to do to fix it?

I got Tab S5e a month ago, I've ordered it from Amazon. It was a 128 GB/6 GB version. Okay, since the day I picked it up, it works great and functions very well but it restarts randomly like a few times a day. When my tablet is off and I'm not using it at the time, it restarts randomly as Tab S5e logo appeared on screen, meaning that it resets themselves.

The tablet also turns itself on while my tablet is off and on plug charging.

The battery is still good. Both volume and power buttons aren't sticky. The tablet also rubs faster and I had no problem with that.

Here are the things I tried to prevent this but didn't help.

- Switching to Safe Mode
- Wiping system cache
- Removing the plastic rubber case

Will you help me find the solution without even returning it?

Thank you.
Try doing sysdump through adb. you'll need to enable developer mode and enable USB. Be careful, if connected to a compromised computer it could affect your device. Sysdump should have the reason it's restarting. Another option is going a bug report. Both are going to be tedious, lots of reading.

remove work/personal sections

Hi all -

This isn't exactly a development question, but I couldn't find a more appropriate forum.

Somehow, in my setup of my Galaxy Tab A, I ended up with two sections to the main display: Personal and Work. I don't need this separation, and I find it inconvenient. Can someone please tell me how I can remove this feature?

Thanks...
Should be under Settings, then Accounts, or could be System or Security. Might vary on version.

How can I tell if a software update is legitimate?

No, not really. Many people jump to the conclusion that their phone has been hacked when something doesn't work the way the expect, or when they see things they don't understand. When phone does exhibit some form of security issue, 99.9% of the time it's because the user has installed something unsafe or the Google account has been cracked -- either by using easy passwords or sharing them with someone else.

A true hack into a mobile device is so rare, it can be considered non-existent.
Actually it's not rare at all. Unfortunately Android doesn't allow you to do much analysis without root. Root will then be detected by many malware types, then it hides and destroys itself or sometimes rewrites itself to seem normal.

Show me what I listen

1. I have always an app that is displayed. Nothing more, you can not start using it as a normal tablet. Even if you do when you turn on the display again you should see just the specific application on top
2. nice
3. Not being able easlily to select another app. For example kids to take the tablet to play games, they should see it as a device that is only for that specific media player
4. Now that I think of will be nice to even lock the touch screen for kids and have a special way to unlock it

Tablet + White case+ Hidden cable

Yeah you are not going to find something like from us here. It's too specific to your needs. You are not going to find a wooden case for your tablet. And since not all tablets are the same size, your going to need to find one that fits whatever device you have. You are better off finding a wooden stand.

And here google is your friend:

Another idea is to contract your local woodworker and have someone build you one specific for you.

Thumbtack is one of the best apps for that:

Galaxy Z Fold4 March security update

Samsung's 6th Android 13 update has started to roll out for the Fold4 international devices, F936B. bringing with it the March Security patch.


"The March 2023 security patch from Samsung includes 39 security bug fixes released by Google. On top of those, Samsung has added 11 more fixes for security loopholes in Galaxy smartphones and tablets. That takes the total security fixes included in Samsung’s March 2023 security patch to 50. Five fixes are critical, while 35 are marked ‘high.’ Most of the Samsung-specific bug fixes are marked as ‘moderate’ priority."

See SamMobile... Samsung monthly updates: March 2023 security patch released with 50 fixes


This is a slightly later build to the one already received on U.S. devices, B5 vs B1.


Build number = F936BXXS2CWB5
Build date = 24 February 2023
Android Security patch = 01 March 2023
Download size = 417.85MB
Camera version = 13.1.00.14

It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you. Alternatively, you can connect to the Samsung PC suite, Smart Switch and check via that.

Ultra Mobile's PayGo Plan

Sorry I'm not carrying two phones in my pocket. My huge ass z fold 4 is all my pants can handle. I need to get a few new pants, cuz I am starting to get holes where my phone runs against it. I have a note 4 somewhere lying around if I need a backup phone.....I guess.
My advice: Get cargo pants. Cargo pants have reasonably-sized pockets, other pants don't. That's why your pants are getting holes.

Mint & Utra Mobile Purchased by T-Mobile

Mint & Utra Mobile were purchased by T-Mobile. The first comment on Mint Mobile's video sums up my feelings:
Adventures with Andi: "As a Mint Mobile customer, I'm not thrilled by this announcement. With acquisitions like this, it's only a matter of time before the prices go up, the quality goes down, and everything that made the smaller company great is gone."
That's what happened when Sprint bought Nextel! What made Nextel Nextel went away, and Sprint was a poor substitute.

Help Samsung Galaxy J3 won't boot.

Or use it for parts (screen, battery, etc) for another, secondhand J3...

But carrying on...OP? have you tried a factory data reset? You said it boots to either recovery (where the Factory Reset option is) or download mode, the latter of which is how you put the original firmware (assuming you know the version of Android/etc that was there before since ODIN won't flash older versions on top of newer ones) via a PC suite called ODIN.

I would try the Factory Data Reset or even 'Clear Cache' options first and retry. Often it gets buggered (like from a partially installed update, or crash) and just bootloops or freezes at the Samsung logo.

Worse case scenario, if you like the J3, I'm certain plenty of used examples exist cheap on eBay or Amazon, and then you got parts, like an extra battery (the J3 had a removable battery) or screen, or other bits.

Using Bluetooth on an inactive phone

The app is for 8 and above but it's web based so can be used on anything that has a browser, microphone, speaker and WiFi. Dang handy little thing is Voice.
Does this mean you can use Samsung Internet on said Note II to enable Voice to work on it? I swear it worked fine last year. I am of the view if it worked fine last year it should work fine this year because nothing changed (except Google's attitude towards people who prefer their older phones, that is)

Doesn't matter anyway, because I found alternatives, plus, I don't trust any Google app because they all have longevity issues. Play Music was the straw which broke the camel's back for me. Like any corporation, they don't give any rat's hat if anyone complains or sends feedback, they'll do whatever they do anyway. If any company did that in the '60s they'd be bankrupt from the bad reputation in no time.

My Note II's (got two of 'em) still go a day on charge fine. What did you do to your Note 4 @ocnbrze ? Leave it plugged in for months? I made a couple of 'spicy pillows' out of my S5 batteries that way (when I used it for my internet via hotspot mode for 6 months when I moved into my home) but only because many online resources said that leaving a phone plugged in won't hurt it, because they are smart enough to regulate their own charge and not over charge the battery. They lied.

------------------------ WHAT'S THIS ? -----------------
This Is pretty neat We have abused the dynamic update system to bring you a Dual Boot solution.
We are using slot a for our main ROM and slot b for our secondary, the two slots shared /userdata partition, but thanks to
some nice maneuvering in the secondary roms fstab we now use mmcblk1p1 as userdata
that gives us userdata on our sdcard, for this to work you must first prepair the sdcard by making 2 partitions.
1 exfat for the " Sd Card " partition and one ext4 for the new "userdata"
anyway this allows both ROMs to co-exist on the same device and use different slots.
We also have several other roms and kits for this device come by and check it out, all are invited
If you show-up at our Tg Group to grab this or other ROM's:
Please keep your language and your posts there appropriate for general audiences that may include young people.
