    …rname and password again. Coworkers are also experiencing this issue. The app is severely buggy in general, but this one hinders its usage the most.

    …njoy the interface of this app, but I always have trouble logging in. Face ID doesn’t work, and it makes you change the password a ridiculous amount

    UKG Pro — Horrible — I have to use the authentication app every time takes forever I use to be able to sign in using my face !

    UKG Pro — Face ID I have to use this for work, the face id sign in never works or it does once a month. Any of the coworkers I talk to also have this issue.
