Just been for lunch and went to show passport and shortcut had disappeared, so used the link from covid tracer app which just worked. Just restarted my Samsung note 10+ and as others saying after 2 minutes shortcut disappears so hopefully experts get a fix soon in the interim will just use it from covid tracer app. Also looks like lock home screen layout which is supposed to stop items from being removed or repositioned not working properly and a pain to add shortcut each time have to unlock home screen put shortcut then relock.

I've had no issues with the pass being on the lock screen. Hasn't vanished from there.

My vaccine passport shortcut is on home screen, as far as I know can't put on lock screen, tried when first came out, unless you have a solution for that.

I'm on android, Samsung, and have it stored in my G.Pay wallet, that all works fine, but unlocking twice was getting annoying.

I made a new copy of my lockscreen wallpaper with just the QR code pasted into the bottom half, positioned so its as large as will fit above the bottom row of icons (my image is dark so I also left some white border around the QR). I still have most of my original wallpaper showing, the QR fills about 1/3 the screen, one quick touch of the button and they can scan my QR code. Much more convenient than accessing the G.Pay wallet.

Been eating out the last two nights and at each restaurant I have scanned and then been asked for the V/Pass and I have just touched that new entry "View My Vaccine Pass" above the 'Okay' button - up pops the V/Pass. So much quicker and easier - BRILLIANT 😃

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Tiny niggle with update to ColorOS 12 on my new find x3 lite.
So we know the pay app needs auth to unlock and reveal the pass.
But since 12, it doesn't default to fingerprint biometric if you have face unlock specified
And you can't specify or adjust the priority order.

Fingerprint is provided as part of screen unlock by default, so adding face data is additional. But priority is for face for the pass/pay :/ (proven by keeping face data but turning off unlock function, the pass still prompts for face)

Would be fine if you weren't wearing a mask everywhere that asks.....
