It's this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tongtongsu...

It's not the same company as the one that made the door. To be fair, the door is a one time purchase and they shouldn't have to maintain it, so it's all done with a third party app. The hardware is solid, it's just the software that's a bit dodgy.

The lock can be opened with fingerprint or NFC tag, but it freezes after 3 tries. The master key is a physical key or the app. I didn't get a fingerprint door to use keys, and the keyhole is also at a weird angle from beneath the door. So the app it is.

It sounds ridiculous but I need apps for everything anyway, thanks to 2FA. I can't even log in to work without an app.
