What to do when the Kiosk Exit passcode popup won't appear?

Hey team, I’m kinda stuck. I have a tablet in Kiosk lockdown that I need to exit to change the WiFi password. I checked the policy and "Manual Kiosk Exit" is definitely enabled, but the tap sequence isn’t bringing up the passcode popup. I also tried the Reboot and tap to exit method as well! But no change! You guys have any ideas?

How can I bypass Google's phone verification lock when setting up an account for Android Enterprise/MDM binding?

Hi guys!!  I’m trying to sign up for a new Google account specifically to manage our MDM software, but I’m completely stuck at the phone verification screen.It keeps rejecting my number or saying it can't be used for verification. Since I can't get past this, I can't finish the Android Enterprise binding, and I’m essentially locked out of setting up Hexnode. Has anyone else dealt with this?

What are the specific settings and paths in the Hexnode portal to make this 'bulletproof'?

Hello! I’m setting up a fleet of Android tablets for a check-in station.
