13. Happened to me yesterday on my phone, now I know why.

I was on Chrome and it made me sign in. I'm like WTF?
I hadn't logged out, somehow I was.
So then I had to jump through some hoops. 2FA, then thumb print...Both...

Then I tried watching Netflix on my phone. Once again, I ran into problems. I got a message how my device was "not approved".
It required my password, 2FA and it then only gave me temporary phone access. It said that I had to "pair it with my television". That has NEVER happened to me.
