Couldn't find where to fit this - it sort of fits areas but goes beyond them. So I use Google Adwords, Analytics and Webmaster Tools. While not an expert I'm fairly comfortable with them.

As well I have LastPass on my PC to make password security somewhat manageable.

For some time I've had a smartphome - not because I wanted it - in fact I long for the old days. But we have reception difficulties in our area (only 2km from the CBD in a town of 100,000 - the hills cause the problems). And this phone got the beat rating we could find for reception. Even then it is marginal - even more so on my wife's identical phone.

Anyway I've recently been trying to use the play store on my phone to try out some apps. Some DL OK - and some require me to enter a password for Google. I've tried several times and can't get it to work. Worse it's changed the google passwords and even worse my banking app on the PC can no longer connect until I ring them and get the password sorted.

The silly thing is I know not to presevere when I failed twice - we get three goes before it is locked - but it is now locked after two attempts on the phone.

I have tried other programs and none work. I even tried installing lastpass on the phone - but that won't let me in either.

I hate trying to "type" on the phone = but I have been very careful and just can't figure out the problems.

The real frustration is google passwords - using them on the phone changes them so I have to change them on the PC - and then the phone doesn't work - etc - you get the picture. What's worse I can't reuse passwords in google.

I've given up on the phone apps until I get the google working consistently - but I know it needs to be sorted after that.

Any helpful hints greatly received.
