Often when I log in to a websites I'm often asked to verify my identity by typing in a numeric code they send to my phone. When I leave the website to look at the code I can never return to the page that asked for the code in the first place. Is there a work-around?

You should be able to open a new app without closing the old one. On Android phones you can go to the bottom of the screen to a small kind of squared circle that brings up all of the phone apps. Go to the one you need, then instead of closing out anything go to the three little vertical bars next to the circle and tap it, and you should see you apps layered in a way you can touch the one you need and bring it back to the top to enter the number. Once you have finished tap that three bar thing again and you can swish the rest of the apps off of the screen (closing them) or use the "close all" button and everything is gone.
