App login issue

I just updated my app. Now I need to login with username, password and a text message every time. Even if I setup for Face ID. it was working fine before this current update.

Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Compressor ran backward after power flicker

Earlier today, my power went out very briefly, maybe for half a second, and then immediately came back on. My AC was running at the time. I was at the front of the house, and when I came back inside, I noticed the compressor was making a loud knocking/grinding/rattling noise. I immediately shut the AC off.

I checked the stove clock and realized the power outage had happened about 5 minutes earlier, so the compressor had apparently been rattling that entire time.

My questions are:

  1. Could this have caused any damage to my 18-year-old Scroll AC compressor?

  2. Is there a way to add a delay-on-break or delay-on-make timer to prevent this from happening again when I’m not home?

  3. What protective mechanisms are normally built into HVAC systems to prevent damage from brief power interruptions like this? I assume the system designers anticipated this kind of situation.
