titleI am tapping the screen but I don't see the "Canvas Login" button at the topanywhere

You may not have your 2 fingers spread apart far enough (it should be about an inch), or you may be double-tapping too slowly. Try doing it quickly, as shown in the videos above.//TODO

titleI am tapping saw "Canvas Login" but nothing is happeningappear but when I try to log in, it shows a UWF logo

You may have double-tapped too many times and tried to log in as a "Site Admin" instead. Go all the way back to the starting screen and double-tap with two fingers again until you see "Canvas Login" or "Canvas_Login: ON".

titleI entered my User ID and password and I cannot log in.

If you see a UWF Logo and a "Username" and "Password" field, you are on the incorrect login screen. If you see a Canvas logo and fields for "User ID" and "Password" but cannot log in, you may be entering your password incorrectly. You can tap "Forgot Password?" to reset it.//TODO
