I used it yesterday with no problem. Today the Android app said I had to update to at least version 1.4.8 and would refuse to even let me input PIN number.
This is the part I don't get. If it happens again please let me know and I'll give you some tools to investigate before you update.
Also to reset must be done on Chrome only, not app.
It should also work from the Android app once it's updated. For the time being it only works with older versions
And I hate to enter incorrect pin, remove card, insert card, incorrect pin again, remove card and incorrect pin again. That song and dance is not explained anywhere.
I'll mention it in bolder later in the firmware update page, but this is a security measure against malware trying to DoS the card by sending wrong PINs in a row. It could be made easier by sending the wrong PINs for you.
Also, after installing the two required chrome extensions, the first time updater said could not read my version number.
Might happen right after the chrome extensions are installed if you don't reload the page, or if another process is open and tries to access the dongle.
I had to remove it and start over and then it worked. Also, why does updating it require it to be removed and inserted so many times?
the dongle cycles through 3 different operating systems during the update, it tries to reboot automatically between each steps but there could be race conditions in this process and the updater errs on the side of caution if the dongle doesn't answer fast enough.
