I can log in through Chrome with no problem except when I try to do anything I'm immediately logged out. The app is completely and utterly useless after I log in it asks me if I want to enable My biometrics and it doesn't matter what I do I'm immediately booted back out. app sucks and I need to find a alternative.

I had recently left a review and it was two stars if I could leave zero stars at this point I would. the app was corrupted and I brought it to their attention they did nothing. they continued to tell me that I needed to go to the site to withdraw cash from my 401k plan. I use the site and the toggle, would not respond to touch or click same with the app. I continue to tell them this for 30 days. nothing happened. They send a check. No bank not even mine wants to cash it. turned into 45 days. MFS

Not bad however when it comes to hardship withdrawals it'll ask what for, I needed a little bit from my account to pay rent and it's an emergency so that's what I clicked on. Well it proceeded to say on the app you'll receive it in 2-3 business days which would've been this past Wednesday. Nothing in my account and it said processing, got processed and now it takes ANOTHER 5-7 BUSINESS DAYS which is ridiculous if you urgently need your money. Why ask that question if it takes nearly 2 weeks
