The main menu holds the actions that are not credentials: backups, screen/layout settings, dangerous options (factory reset) and firmware info. This guide shows you how to get there and how to move inside it.

Route A — From the first credential

When you’re on credential 1, Left opens the menu directly. Access menu from credential 1 Press Left while on credential number 1.

Route B — From the last credential (via “Add New”)

If you’re near the end of your list, another way is Right repeatedly: after the last credential the “Add New” screen appears, and another Right jumps to the menu.
