Question Smart switch

[s3fan]

Hi

I am sure i have turned something off in the past that causes this.

Smart switch never yransfers my passwords. I end up having to download my apps again. Tbey show as greyed out on the phone. And every
app that i then download needs password entry. Any ideas what i have wrong?

That's typical; it doesn't glean passwords or app data. Never use SmartSwitch to transfer critical data as it can fail you miserably.
Best not to use it on a different device or Android version and do a clean load build instead...

Its one of those things that i watch the rest of family do with apple thats so seamless. I struggle to remember every password and it takes a few hours. Does help me bin the trash though i suppose

Apple is easy, it works and I hate it. Unfortunately Google Android and Samsung are getting to be more like Apple every year. That's why I'm still using N10+'s running on Android 9 and 10. Screw them all.

Passwords should be part of your backups. Before a factory reset delete your Google and Samsung accounts on the phone. Do the reset through settings rather than the boot menu to avoid the possibility of FRP rearing it's ugly head.

Use ApkExport to make installable copies of all your apps to avoid using Playstore and speed load time. I disable firmware upgrades/updates and rarely update apps. Upgrades/updates can and do break Samsung's.
