A tumblr post saying "i really like this thing where websites will have separate “log in” & “sign up” buttons and if you click “log in” it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click “i already have an account” and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose “username & password” it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says “do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?”
In all seriousness, I’m hating this latest trend where you click the “login” button (page refresh 1) and they ask if you want to use a one time code or password, and I use a password manager like a functioning adult, so I click “password” (page refresh 2, could have already been logged in by now) and THEN I get to input my password (page refresh 3) and then they’re like “y’know what, we’re gonna send you a one-time code anyway” (page refresh 4) so I have to retrieve that and finally get to login on page FIVE.
We used to be a proper Internet.
Then the chucklefucks manage to have the worst backend security imaginable and all your data gets breached in a leak anyway but they make their security look really impressive to customers so for six glorious months they created Shareholder Value and the c-suite already took their golden parachutes.
Most grievous mistake designers make is assume the attacker will take the front door and pick the lock instead of breaking a window, walking though the hole in the fence and taking the side door or just walk though the other side, where literally the whole wall is missing.
But at least you have a padlock, a deadbolt, a high security door lock, a chain link, a nest AND a ring camera,
Fuck ring cameras, they’ve given blank access to their cameras and footage to police departments in the US, users have no option to block this.
I mean yeah, I don’t think that commenter was pro-ring cameras…
No, but I feel the need to make people aware that ring cameras are surveillance devices for cops at every opportunity.
I’m most impressed by how little Mangione was on cameras in New York. Yeah they got a bunch of pics, but like there are rin cameras EVERYWHERE. Escaping crimes is hard if the police actually care.
That’s valid, I just think most people in Lemmy would know that already.
Here, take this random string my password manager made
don’t forget the “install our app to make the next login faster” interstitial after you press “login”. can you really claim they don’t care about how painful their login process is when they’ve gone out of their way like that to provide you with a less painful option??
