Hello :)

On an Android phone how do you keep a app widget to always be there no matter what screen you're on?

My example is when I'm logging into a website, 2FAS Auth isn't displayed at the bottom of the screen. Even though it's pinned there on the homepage, I end up in having to minimize the browser, hit the homepage button, tick the app icon at the bottom, open it up, to get the 2FA key then go back to the browser.

There are always the 4 apps shown there, just not the 2FAS icon when I'm using a browser and want to login.

I figured I'd enable a Bot reply, just in case there was an easy solution.

Unfortunately, Android doesn't support keeping a widget static across all screens. However, you can use the split-screen feature to keep your 2FAS Auth app open while browsing. Alternatively, consider using a password manager that supports 2FA, like LastPass, to streamline the process.
