My guess is 2fa code apps. Why you ask? Because blizzard already did it. They use their own proprietary 2fa code generator app called battle net, so I have to use it. So after a few months/years of casually not using anything remotely connected with Mr. And Mrs. „Muttermilchknacker”

explanation

(A word derived from the „Panzerknacker” series of comics where the same named group of idiotic bandits try to break open a gold vault full of money, which I use since the scandal where someone stole the lactation bottle of someone working at Activision)

, I finally decided to try Overwatch 2 again, and when I tried to use my login app to confirm my login, I found myself logged out. And when I tried to log in again, I had to use the Authenticator, which I was logged out of, to use my authenticator, in order to log into the authenticator, in order to use the authenticator, in order to log into my authenticator (I could keep going like this forever)

    Every morning at work it’s:

    >Type in a password to Decrypt laptop drive

    >Type in a password to Sign in to laptop account

    >Type in a password to Sign into 1password

    >Copy password for okta from 1pw

    >Use fingerprint to Unlock my phone

    >Type in 2FA code from my phone Google authenticator into okta

    >Finally log into outlook

    >Need to log into a system not behind SSO

    >Type in a password to Re-unlock 1password

    >Oopsie-poopsie phone died!

    >Charge phone for 5 min so I can turn it on

    >Type in phone password because you can’t use biometrics after shutdown

    >Open Google authenticator and get 2FA for system

    >“Sorry your authentication attempt has timed out”

    >Type in password to unlock 1password

    >Copy password to system

    >Type in 2FA code from phone

    >Finally logged into system so I can do work

    >Oh it’s meeting time anyway

    >Meeting is 30 mins

    >After meeting get back to the tab with the system

    >“You’ve been logged out due to inactivity”

    I’d honestly rather drink a verification can.

      I have to sign in to 2-5 programs to complete service for customers

      I use shared terminals so I have to sign out when I am done

      Each task takes about 3-4 minutes of computer work, feels like most of my time spent is typing in a 15 character password in 2-5 programs. I do this all day, 8hr shift, graveyards.

      I just change a single digit number on this password when the 90 day rotation happens. Typing it in incorrectly 3 times gets me locked out, a call to IT. I work for tips, no time for that. My work environment is distracting, noisy and stressful, so even if I wanted to use “best practices” in choosing passwords, I really shouldn’t.

      Management refuses to replace keyboards that aren’t in good repair. Several have keys that stick.

      I type in a 15-char password probably 100+ times a day.

      my phone is dead for 2fa

      Lmao skill issue

          Do you not charge it when you sleep? I don’t even have to charge mine every day because it’s pretty new and I’m barely on it. And I use GrapheneOS so it’s debloated.

            Probably just paranoid, but I can’t fall asleep if I leave my devices charging. There’s a nagging fear of the battery going up in flames while I’m asleep.

              m… me? sorry for offending you. I prefer keeping my phone charged instead of letting it comlletely discharge. no I’m not living on it, I’m living on my desktop.

              also I only read lemmy on the phone.

                Lol I’m not offended dw, was just a bit shocked that people make it a routine, because for me to go through the effort of doing that, it would mean i actually need my phone to be fully charged every day all day.

                I genuinely have no clue where my phone is most of the time and even being medicated for ADHD I don’t see any need to spend precious focused hours on the effort if would take to establish any kind of routine around it.
