Sign in using 2FA hardware token, receive email "We've received a suspicious login! Click here to confirm it's you" ffs, I used my bleeding hardware 2FA token; yes, it's me. @lichendust

@lichendust On the desktop, I use uMatrix (technically unmaintained) with deny-all as the default. So useful for cutting down on so much of this!

@lichendust if your site only has a form to ask for a quote, you're dead to me. If I could afford you then you'd have a price.

@lichendust For me the most frustrating was logging into Microsoft Authenticator on a new phone. With no access to the old one. - You have 2FA configured. - You must use 2FA to login. - Cannot use 2FA - Use alternative method. - To use alternative method, you must login first. Back to the start - You have 2FA configured. - You must use 2FA to login. - Cannot use 2FA - Use alternative method. - To use alternative method, you must login first. Resetting 2FA didn't break the loop. Instead, they still expected me to use Microsoft Authenticator to login to Microsoft Authenticator. The only way out of this loop was to use Google Authenticator.

@lichendust If your privacy settings are very good, this "you failed to click on the buses click on these bicycles instead" could go on for 6 (very slow) rounds and still fail and you have to start again. 🤣

@lichendust It's extremely ironic that the AI image parsers have gotten good enough to solve the captcha that humans can't.

@ciourte@piaille.fr 2026-02-21 21:07
@lichendust "do you want me to translate this page?" is still nicer than the ones who just decide you'll get the awkward automated translation without telling you and, somewhere, have an icon that opens a menu to disable it and see the original content.
