It gets weirder.
(1) After being told that my Chromebook is not compatible with the available version of Armor, and *NOT repeat NOT* actively doing anything to download it, I discover that it *has in fact been been downloaded and is active on this dervice.*
(2) I then tried to activate it on my Kindle Fire and ... was told it is "not compatible with this device." Maybe now it will mysteriously show up there too! Maybe not!
For a supposedly transparent and user-friendly security system, this is is so far not inspiring confidence. Can anyone explain this?
