Governments and banks love this, but I've even seen it with phone companies with e-sims. I quickly needed a new phone subscription, so I considered an e-sim, because I figured you could activate it by scanning the QR code from the screen. But no, they will mail me a piece of plastic with the QR code on it. So I went with a regular sim instead.
I see. Well, I think if you could just scan the code from the screen, that probably would open up all kinds of gateways for scammers. On the other hand, faking a physical address is a bit more expensive.
I mean, in Canada we can activate esims by scanning a digital qr code, and we have significantly less scam calls than the US does... Because we have much better laws about that sort of thing.
Probably Italy. All institutions and many households still have a working but unused fax line in Italy (which most photocopiers still support). Many documents can only be transferred either in person or by fax.
We are not savages, we have low cost multi-gigabit optic-fiber household connections available in the majority of cities. Our bureaucracy is just anachronistic.
PEC is usually not free (neither is fax, but a landline is more common than PEC). But also, I think it's not accepted everywhere. Maybe you can also use posta raccomandata. But for that you must go to the post office in person and wait in line with other 10 pensioners, and it also costs, so you are probably better off just handing the document in person.
Ah that's a shame, if they made it free (at least for communication with the state) i think it could clear up the fax situation a lot. They did this in my country and it got rid of the faxes
One is for registration and one is for login with a new device, although it's technically not even a new device I just uninstalled and then reinstalled the app...
My healthcare governmental insurance… last time I had to request a password. Took 2 good weeks. Fucking crazy inefficient process for an application that in the end exposes close to zero PII. The juicy stuff is behind another account with 2FA and more.
I remember when I first read about it (late 2000s? not sure when), I thought it was an awesome idea and surely the web of the future would be full of "log in with OpenID" buttons.
Instead it is now full of "log in with Google", "log in with Facebook", "log in with Microsoft" buttons.
You can’t arbitrarily trust any OpenID implementation. I could easily have authelia report that I am schnurrito and the app has no way to confirm that.
I'm digging 'login with caution.' I like to think it's mostly the same generic login page but with 'Warning: you are logging into site X. This will involve the use of your sensitive login credentials. Take precautions against their loss or theft.' and yellow/black hazard tape borders on every div.
Yeah, I agree with that one. That was actually the first one that caught my eye for the same reason. Something about login with a potato is just hilarious to me for some reason.
In some languages the base layer of the number row is taken up by weird characters so people prefer the numpad to holding Shift, and laptops without one sell poorly
Haha I used to do this all the time for my credit card PIN. Every time I had to enter it I had to get out a calculator as I didn't remember the four-digit number but I did remember the expression I used to derive it.
I recall a YouTuber who used their cats butthole for their fingerprint sensor to unlock their phone. It could be that they wanted to try it but never did, though. It's been like a decade.
Some dudes with oldstyle websites from web 1.0 times actually keep doing this. A friend of mine has a login with dog chip on his website among dozens of other options.
yeah, the whole point was to make fun of web2 development as it went. Now he has web3 logins too, which are way more awkward than anything before, but, like, work with as few 3rd parties as possible.
The regular login is just password that fetches creds stored in local storage without any cookies. Most of time one wouldn't even notice it, and as secure as CORS/HTTPS (which would screw you if not working properly anyway). Kind of shows what a pile of data-stealing nonsense this all is.
It’s finally getting more widespread use. I‘ve had a machine readable ID with biometrics for two decades before I was able to actually use it for the first time online.
credit card login in my mind: registration by account balance. To be able to login, match your balance to the same amount you had at the time of registration

Yes, and banks when you wanna activate online banking. Arguably, then it's just for registering, and logging in then works differently.
