Made me log in on smart lock but to log in I need to generate a code using smart lock so this makes no sense since I can’t back out. Google has to get rid of this terrible app

User Reviews
The reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Most users report the app crashes on launch or won open on iOS (especially after iOS 18), blocking access to Google accounts. Authentication problems are common, including passkey/login failures, issues with QR sign-in, and NFC/YubiKey integration. A small minority say it works as advertised, but overall reliability is poor and users want startup crashes and login issues fixed.
Pros
- A minority of users report that the app works as advertised.
Cons
- Crashes or won open on startup, especially after the iOS 18 update.
- Cannot log in or sign in due to passkey/authentication problems on iOS.
- QR code sign-in and Google authentication do not reliably work.
- NFC/YubiKey passkey support does not function correctly on iOS.

How am I suppose to get a verification code after installing the smart lock if the smart lock app ask me to get a code from smart lock to sign in, before I can sign in ???
