@fu
Can I ask why you hate it so? I absolutely love it. I use it on all my accounts.

fu (fu@libranet.de)'s status on Friday, 10-Nov-2023 20:56:19 JST fu @roland yes that would probably be less annoying.
Reveal/hideMy biggest issue is I'm a looser, a looser of things, so needing to use my cell phone to log into important stuff (like every single stupid application at work) is a real PITA & my day is significantly less productive having to find where I left my phone before the battery died. I hate even thinking about when I drive the full 62 miles to the office before I realize I left it at home.

roland (roland@f.haeder.net)'s status on Friday, 10-Nov-2023 20:56:21 JST roland @GenXer @fu I think it might be because of how commercial websites implement it, by entering your mobile number and not TOTP. -

fu (fu@libranet.de)'s status on Friday, 10-Nov-2023 20:59:24 JST fu long rant continued
Reveal/hideTo make my life at least a little less cumbersome #GoogleVoice is the one tool they offer that keeps me choosing to give up my freedom and lock into their surveillance capitalist driven eco-system so at least I can get the verification SMS on my desktop. But even that is getting worse now with some platforms doing some sort of look-up and determining "no, that's not a real cell phone number ; give me a different one" And #PUSH notifications aren't any better. My "favorite" one is the one when trying to log into my Work Email using the Outlook Android app on my #BYOD and they send the verification to the exact app I'm trying to log into. Regarding #TOTP I have an app installed on my phone becasue one account I used somewhere one time supported it. For the life of my I don't remember the account, and If I could find my phone (missing 8 days now) I'd tell you the name of the app. -

Reveal/hide@GenXer on top of that some of my boomer friends don't have a cell phone, so it felt like overnight they couldn't access half the internet anymore and many companies provide literally 0 options for such users. -

fu (fu@libranet.de)'s status on Friday, 10-Nov-2023 21:04:05 JST fu I wonder if it is design intent that #friendica won't let me put line breaks inside a spoiler
Reveal/hideWhy yes I do have #ADHD. I was taking meds for it until 11/1/23 when my employer provided "health insurance" arbitrarily decided to no longer authorize them.
