Amazing in theory, abysmal in practice. I've been going around in circles just trying to link the app with my account! One week later and I'm unable to authenticate myself using my fancy new passport. The app simply gives up, much like the website. Please sort this out, as it would be amazing for everyone if it simply worked as designed!

Top many tries to get it to work. Finally worked when I switched to starting the process from my computer. It should say the restrictions, e.g. if it's better to start from the computer so people don't spend time trying to make it work from the mobile phone browser
