What to do when the Kiosk Exit passcode popup won't appear?

Hey team, I’m kinda stuck. I have a tablet in Kiosk lockdown that I need to exit to change the WiFi password. I checked the policy and "Manual Kiosk Exit" is definitely enabled, but the tap sequence isn’t bringing up the passcode popup. I also tried the Reboot and tap to exit method as well! But no change! You guys have any ideas?

How can I bypass Google's phone verification lock when setting up an account for Android Enterprise/MDM binding?

Hi guys!!  I’m trying to sign up for a new Google account specifically to manage our MDM software, but I’m completely stuck at the phone verification screen.It keeps rejecting my number or saying it can't be used for verification. Since I can't get past this, I can't finish the Android Enterprise binding, and I’m essentially locked out of setting up Hexnode. Has anyone else dealt with this?

What security and usability features should I enable in a kiosk browser to prevent users from exiting the app?

Hey everyone, we’re deploying 50 tablets for a public exhibit and I’m struggling to keep people inside the browser. I need to lock it down so they can't browse random sites or use the home/back buttons to get into the tablet settings. What are the specific settings and paths in the Hexnode portal to make this 'bulletproof'?

Remote wipe not working on Mac at login screen

Hi all, I tried executing a remote wipe action to a Mac, but it didn’t go through. The device was stuck at the login screen and I couldn’t get past it. I had to reset it manually. Just wondering if Hexnode can handle this remotely when the Mac isn’t with me.
