    I have a csv file from my PC containing ALL of the logins/passwords - is it possible to import this file in to  Android to get all of my logins working ?
    All 315 of them

    If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    If your PC browser has saved those logins, probably easiest to install the same browser in Android and sync all the settings inc. passwords, bookmarks etc.

    Depending on what format the CSV file is in, might be possible to import into a password manager and sync that

    OK I have successfully transferred to my new mobile
    Everything now works except for old / existing texts - I assumed that they would reappear on the new phone - but they did not...

    I used an app called 'SMS Backup and Restore' which I then saved to Google drive, then imported to my phone

    OK How do i increase the size of the logon text ?
    When I put in my password - it uses the full keyboard and is extremely hard to see

    I meant - on my old phone, it just showed a block of 1-9 numbers rather than a full keyboard

    If the lock screen shows a QWERTY keyboard, the device is maybe set to “password” rather than “PIN”, even if the actual characters typed are just numbers.
