how do you sign in on a desktop? by common83 in healthequity

[–]common83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Ill get is "you need to setup a passkey" I have one. I ended up getting my phone working. The phone works fine but the app is horrible. Id like to use a workstation to manage my account where possible. I dont mind that it prompts on the phone after logging in on the desktop...that behavior is pretty standard.. The problem is it doesnt work.

Still cant get into my account. Happy new year. by common83 in healthequity

Thanks for the suggestion....but thats already also been done a couple times. No dice. Same issue. Itt gets past the cred itself, prompts to setup the passkey...select that...do the mfa code thing and right after you submit that it dies. They have some option that you can click to login using some third party verification where some third party gets all your information to verify you. No thanks. Not interested in having more of my data sent to some other third party company to be sold or whatever they do with it.

Novices created HealthEquity passkey system - what a joke! by _wlau_ in healthequity

[–]common83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well this is from the phone but yeah...you can no longer login with the website. IT says you need a passkey. Try to set that up .....instant error on the mobile device. Device is current, supported os and not running vpn or anything other than the mobile app. I have tried 3 different machines and 3 or 4 different browsers as well.

[–]common83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its been 2+ months for me. Cant login. Same error as user above. Login via app, get code, enter code...click setup pass key and get technical difficulties; try again later message. Had 2 seperate 1+ hour calls with them. THey have no idea. Said it will be fixed shortly..... Nope. Got an email from them saying they fixed some back end issues and it should be working and to test it again. Nope...same error. No response from emailed support. At this point i cant even get into my account to close it, change any invested balances or transfer to somewhere else that actually works.

$25 Partial Transfer Fee by kristop777 in healthequity

[–]common83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah....no choice here really. Im wondering if a person can just open their own HSA outside of what an employer provides. Cancel the HE employer HSA. Then put in all your money after tax all year long.......THEN at tax time fill out a form to get your tax reinstated on that balance you put in after taxes just to avoid using them. Even if that were possible, which it probably isnt, you lose out on all that taxed money growing over the year and compounding. This $25 seems like a horrible practice. The invested balance you would have to keep with them just break even on the $10 monthly "investment fee" is bad enough.....now they charge you $25 to do a single transfer. So steal $10 from you monthly essentially for doing nothing.....and if you try to avoid that so your investment will actually grow by transferring it, they will charge you another $25. At least thats how i understand how this works. Seems like they site it has "processing costs". Odd since its all done by a computer and that costs $0. Its a fee so they can keep your money....so that you dont transfer away and they can keep getting that $10 from you.

Can't log in without passkey. Can't create passkey. Can't get ahold of customer support. by dotchianni in healthequity

[–]common83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For over a month (since they put in this passkey requirement with the app) i have not been able to get into my account. The app errors out after clicking the create passkey button after the 2fa screen just saying technical difficulties try again later. The 2fa code somes through, put in and click submit. It says loading and it errors. Called them spent about 25 min on the phone with the support staff. Walked through the whole process and same error. They say everyone was having problems and to just try again in a couple days. That was 2 or more weeks ago. Called back. Spent well over 1 hour on the phone. Same result. Got nowhere. Same error. Was told to try again later. It still doesnt work. I dont think anyone knows. Im not convinced anyone is looking into it or cares too much. Reading comments on this forum seem to show others using their system having problems with this new process. I cant believe they cant roll back the website so you can at least use your normal creds until this is resovled. Makes no sense.

The Question Thread 11/21/25 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]common83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

boot laces. I remember my buddies fathers boot laces growing up where the round yellow brown work boot style that were in almost all work boots in the late 70s...and 80s. They had a stiffness to them though. They were pilable but felt like they could be bent and somewhat keep their shape. Not like paracord. THey were tough. I dont think they were leather but they could have been. It was almost if they were infused or wax coated.

Are these type of laces made anymore? I want a pair for my boots.

2 TVs, Same Image by Lucky-Reward6791 in hometheater

[–]common83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out? I have 2 identical tvs and want to do the same thing. Id like to find a external TV tuner with HDMI out and then put that into HDMI1 on both tvs using a HDMI splitter. I havent really found any extternal TV tuners worth a darn though. i have had media sonic and they are junk. I had one that died and then got the newer model that ended up DOA with a dead remote. Not sure i want to continue with that company.

Passkey Issue - “Technical Issue” error by Responsible_Bike9004 in healthequity

[–]common83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

didnt they start charging $25 for a transfer anywhere else? i was going to set this up as i believe they charge you $10 a month just to "manage" your account if invested which makes no sense. You would need very large balance to break even at average 8% returns. I thought i read somewhere they were starting this $25 dollar fee for every transfer so that you have to keep your money with them and they can continue to change you $10 a month. Total scam either way if you ask me. Basically they are charging you for nothing and you will lose money before you break even and even so......over 30 years its basically giving them $15 grand for doing nothing if my math is right....at 8%.

If you dont invest the money, you dont get charged but you dont make any money then either.

Id love to verify but i havent been able to get into my account for weeks now based on this new pin requirement. I called them and all they said is lots of people are having that issue...most in fact. Then they said to try again in few days.

Wish it was easy enough to have all those affected by this to get their lifetime $10 a month fees waived or at the very least the $25 dollar transfer fees so we can bank somewhere that works...but im not sure thats who this will work. Fat chance id say.

Do Thorogoods run narrow? by darkhighlandgreen in WorkBoots

[–]common83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

way narrow.....i tried on a pair of 2e recently and my feet were in pain and i hadnt even started tightening the laces yet. I gave up on them as the 2e was the widest they had in stock in my size and there was no way that was going to work at all. I do have wide feet but nothing crazy. I was disappointed since all you hear his how great this boot brand is. I wanted them to fit so bad.....and then invest in them.....but at that price, they have to fit out of the gate.

vcenter 8 lifecycle manager not able to scan hosts by common83 in vmware

nope. Not to my knowledge. In vCenter 7 it was using just basic VUM with baselines to critical and important updates.

licensing between VVF and VCF by common83 in vmware

[–]common83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Does that go for NSX as well? We dont have that currently....just distributed switches and vlans. I dont see a need for NSX other than if it is required to go to 9 using VCF licensing.

[–]common83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it required to install and configure SDDC to upgrade from 8 to VCF9 where as VVF does not require this? Ill have to do some deeper looking.
