u/Consistent_Remove344

Hi

I've been thinking of switching for awhile, as I liked that I could have Proton Authenticator on multiple devices at the same time, which helps if one gets lost. Also I think it has backup.

I've been using MS Authenticator for a while, and though it is good, the backup part always worried me, as one time my wife's backup failed while trying to restore, and it seemed like you had one shot (as everything was gone).

Now I looked at my MS Authenticator randomly today and noticed it said I need to "sign in and turn on backups."

I tried to toggle the switch of turning on backups on and off, and now I've lost my backup, and it won't let me create a new backup. Apparently this has been going on for at least 5 days, from what I've seen online...

Now my question is if I switch over to proton auth.

1. Does it have an option to make sure you need to use biometrics or something before you can access the account?

2. Will I still need MS auth for my Microsoft stuff. Sometimes when logging into an account, it will ask me to choose a number from the app that shows on my screen.

Hi

I have the Arlo cameras (think pro 4 or something) that came with the base station. I had my second usb key set into "locked mode," and I can't format or delete any of the files.

I tried every option I found on Google (tried the registry and special programs), and nothing works. Now I've got to figure out how to destroy these usb keys so no one can view them.

I am also scared to try for a 3rd time, so right now my base station does really nothing. I am using the subscription as I lost confidence in the base station.

I am going to be so happy when my cameras die, as I just want to get off this brand, nothing seems to work great (sometimes it takes so long to connect to live stream of the camera) and subscription keeps getting more and more expensive.

Hey

Got a mazda 3 2015 GS Sky 4dr (think made in Japan but need to double check) and looking to change brake pads.

Any recommendations? I am looking at Wagner ThermoQuiet and Raybestos EHT.
