Deviant art?? This is not July of 2025 for sure
Yeah memes a few years old but still good.
This kind of thing really thoroughly gets on my nerves.
More relevant every day, now they want government ID and for you to install their app.
My biggest annoyance with these processes is when they ask for your user name (loading…) then takes you to a different page to ask for your password (loading…)
Like, just stick them on the same page, it’s an annoyance for the sake of trying to get us to use auto sign in
This, exactly, stopped me from subscribing to a service last night
This also causes me to utilize feedback forms (edit: and more often these days, AI chatbots) telling them that their website’s product owner is a douchebag in as creative of a way that I can in the moment based on my level of frustration lol
“Magic email” login is the most stupid method to me. Yeah, just make it impossible to log in with my password manager. The average person probably has the weakest password for their email anyway so if a hacker has access to their account you just made it 100% easier for them to log in.
Fully agree, it’s almost security theater.
They need to offer a way for use with a password manager, maybe a slightly hidden option or detecting a really long password to stop all the extra bits.
I forgot what the service was but it will have my user and pass, prompt the email verify, and then it will ask for the token generated in an Auth app.
At a certain point the proper user probably can’t get in
Are you talking about TOTP?
Yes, for the last Auth they had me use TOTP.
Thanks, still having my morning drink and forgot the name, When I replied.
To be fair basically all services allow resetting passwords via email so even without the magic email link they’d be fucked anyways if their email got hacked.
I mean if your email is compromised, most of your accounts can have their passwords reset, no? So it’s basically the same as resetting your password every time you log in. Dumb, I agree, but surely not worse from a security standpoint, right?
resetting your password every time you log in
Boomers do that
It’s to outsource the security risk/liability to a third-party
Oh yea. 100%. You can’t have your vibe coded insecure supabase user database stolen with plaintext creds if you don’t store user creds in the first place.
Even though I can’t stand “log in with…”-style logins I’d still take that over the stupid link.
I got this yesterday after signing back in to my google account. Like fuck off, google, i know you already know my address. Its just for those “ads purposes” they try to sneak in the bottom there.After the age check laws take effect; you won’t need to log in. They will know who you are.
You only have to type the url in your browsers adress bar and you will recieve your obligatory bone sampling kit in your mail box the next day.
Buy the Google stock, average people dont give a flying shark about privacy.
