Known Issues

  • Phones running pre-Marshmallow (v6.0) has known issues with the Android keystore when adding or removing authentication methods (PINs, passwords, biometrics) used to unlock the phone

    It is recommended that you make a backup of your Bluink Key credentials to prevent loss of this data in the event that the keystore is erased. For more information please see this article.

  • Need to restart app to switch languages

  • Can't open .inj backup file

    • Outlook or owa

      Cause: Backup file becomes unusable because Outlook adds an extension of .eml

      Workaround: Send backup using Gmail or default Android mail app OR Find file where you stored it from Outlook and rename to remove the .eml extension

    • Trello

      Workaround: Download the file or send using mail app.

  • Autolock settings not exact

    On Android devices, the system will reclaim memory from running apps. This means that even on 'Never' Bluink Key may autolock and require a password to encrypt data in memory again. Note that the app will only lock after a set number of minutes when it is in the background.

  • Selecting Bluink Key may cause app to scan again

    Workaround: Restart the app and turn Bluetooth off/on.

  • Camera must be available for QR code scan

    If not, the QR code scan may cause the Bluink Key app to stop.
