It is not being fixed because the people that decide whether it needs fixing or not are so wealthy that they have dedicated servants to take care of that drudgery. You're an NPC that is a programmable cog in their passive cash flow generator, not a person.
Click login button -> Use your passkey -> Done

This one makes me irrationally angry
no, it's rational
It has the same energy as insurance companies or ISPs that only offer good deals to new customers.
Logging in is a 17 button process these days.
My job uses a Yubikey, authenticator, and more than 6 passwords, one of which for some damn reason at random points in a day thinks I'm on a seperate machine and forces me to get a verification code in my email. On top of that, one password resets every 3mo, another at 3 weeks, and the others are like every 8mo. All remember past passwords, will not allow any variation or similarity (you had a twelve char password with a number at the end in 2021, try another). It is a damn struggle creating a new password 12 years in now.
Are you allowed to use a password manager, like 1password or Bitwarden? I juggle with docens of passwords per client, all with different expiration dates and complexity rules. A password manager is the only reason I can get them all straight. A good password manager should let you save your passwords, passkeys, recovery codes and MFA codes all in one app locked with a single password + MFA
How much time do you spend on that per week?
I just paid all of my bills and had to login to each account. Once a month torture session lol.
i just have my bank do that.
I don't like to automate it because I get paid every other week and it falls on different days. I just pay my bills first thing when I get paid so I know for sure it's paid and didn't bounce
Why does this meme presume a log in is even necessary!!
It doesn't
Don’t forget to accept the cookies [YES] ~[no]~
Don't not deny allowing access to remove access to cookies!
Website Title [Sign Up] ~[log in]~
Except you accept cookies in X browser, but not Y browser because that is an emulated system to run a 30yr old program they never bothered to update because it worked great on x86 machines but was never designed for 64 bit.
I got a new phone and tried using the Merlin birding app but now I need to enter an email, receive an email, confirm using the link in the email...
...and then enter the user name and password I've been using to log into the app for years.
And it's not just once but every time I use the app, it's a nightmare, and I don't want to give any extra information I don't have to.
I don't mind 2FA and Passkeys, they're mostly fine. But I hate, hate, hate forced logins via magic links or 2FA by email or SMS.
2fa over email is light years better than 2fa over sms for a whole slew of security reasons.
That's correct (at least most of the time), but it's still terribly inconvenient.
Finally bout up sign in ~ "iS tHis YoU???!!? [yes][no] "
Logging in shouldn't feel like passing an exam. Just let us access our accounts!
bot
Security is important, no doubt. I just think logging in should be secure without making the whole process unnecessarily complicated.
if ousing 2fa code is "like passing an exam," maybe the internet is too hard for you.
Not all 2fa methods are created equal. "Shit ... where did I put my RSA fob?"
And yes: I know there's an app. The day my employer gives me a phone I might switch to it.
The best bit is you go through all this drama and then some bloke finds a web form someone forgot to disable and gets access to everyone's account with one click anyway.
I love those send me a text 2FAs and they say the code will expire in 30 seconds. And they take forever to come in.
That's what it feels like waiting the text and it finally comes in.
"If you have a disability, simply use this alternative that's even worse if you have a disability."
Never seen that one ooof
The problem was those alternatives were even easier for AI, so they kept mutilating them until they're practically unusable for anyone.
Like CAPTCHAs where the audio version sounds like those "satanic messages" you'd get by playing a record backwards.
wtf. no thank you
Your password is 30 days old. Make a new one. It can't be the same as any of your last 37 passwords.
