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

" appear, but when I try to log in, it shows a UWF logo.

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.
