    CKAuthenticator has been a frustrating experience. I understand that it's designed to keep kids engaged with their work, but it feels more invasive than helpful. The software essentially acts like spyware for minors, tracking activities in a way that feels uncomfortable. Without a phone and only this Chromebook to work with, I'm extremely limited in what I can do, and CKAuthenticator only adds to the frustration. I wish there was an alternative or that it could be removed altogether.
