Octopus Authenticator

If you like to have your Bluetooth turned off, then this app will pop up something when you launch it asking for access to Bluetooth. I can’t see any settings to say I never intend to use Bluetooth with this app, since I get by with the other options. It’s a daily annoyance. [updated] It seems this happens even more, now. If it gets accessed because of a push notification, it should know I don’t need Bluetooth at that time. Rather than a pop-up, it should just display it as text on the existing screen. It even pops up a message each day if it is running in the background and I’m not needing it at that time. Otherwise, I would rate this one or two stars higher. It has decent options, but is too annoying.

App works way better with recent update. When it pops up on my apple watch it always gives an approve option. Before, it would sometimes show a blue circle and red circle and the rest of the time it would just be a loading screen and I’d have to pull out my phone but now it always works. Much better.

Recently we change from Duo to this Octopus app, honestly it’s been a disappointment, specially because with Duo I was able to log in thru my watch. This app gives you the option too, with the difference that has glitches, 90% of the times the watch does not work and it gets annoying doing it thru your phone. Doing it from the watch makes it more efficient.
