New Tag Collected when Unlocking
-
Hello,
I got a ring last evening and set it up. I was messing around this morning and wrote some data to the inlay of the ring I was using for authentication. Now, when I try to unlock the device I get a 'New Tag Collected' full-screen popup on my phone. This prevents the NFC Unlock app from being able to read the device. Is there an easy way to get the ring working again?
Cheers!

The problem is that the unlock app writes data to your ring so you can't store different data on that particular inlay. There is a easy solution to your problem. just unlock you phone (you may need to use the google login to get past the NFC unlock app (Note: 2 factor authentication needs to be turned off for this to work)) then open the unlock app, remove your ring from the list of keys (Device security -> manage keys) delete your ring/key and add a new one. make sure the key is active before you enable the NFC ring unlock screen.
hope this helps and if there is anything not clear just ask ;-)

@Lafunamor Perfect. I tried everything but re-registering. Cheers!

@Tim-Heckman let me know if it worked and you're fine again ;-)
-
@Lafunamor Yep, all set. Cheers!

(Disclaimer: I don't have rings yet and haven't used unlock app)
A few people have had this problem of not knowing that you can't store private data and use that side to unlock, so is it possible to give warning if a user tries to write data to a tag that is registered as the unlock tag?
