logging into things has become such a nightmare, why oh why did we popularize the notion that you need 2 computers to login to something? this is the extent that the capitalist mind worm has burrowed deep enough into programmers subconscious
@liaizon I don’t like it either but expecting/teaching people to use proper passwords sadly also didn’t work out... SMS and EMail 2FA doesn’t cut it either.
@serapath@bhaugen@cryptix this is also a HORRIBLE solution, devs: please dont do this. people have trouble with remembering passwords already, expecting people to remember a sentence worth of words is badddd
@liaizon@serapath@cryptix
Between a long string of random characters including random numbers and symbols, and a sentence with some meaning, I think I could remember the sentence (or even a sequence of words) better. No?
Also you can write those words down and put them ina safe , or you can gpg encrypt a txt file and then rsync it your friends devices or even use a hyperdrive or ipfs to back up to multiple devices ?
@fleeky@bhaugen@serapath@cryptix you are all responding with "tech answers" this is not a solution. non nerds are not going to understand gpg, ifps, rsync, the hash etc.
this is my point exactly. stop thinking of solutions for tech people. this makes all this shit not approachable to the VAST majority of humans on earth
@liaizon i wonder how bad security is getting actually? like these companies go and add 2 factor for some reason. but that reason could be: 'other companies in the industry are doing it, and our regular security sucks so we should do this to fix our security'? or is actually motivated by some real metric that an exec can understand and make a decision about?
