More like, "are you sure?"

Are you really sure?

Okay, but, like, are you for real sure?

Sure, just… confirm your password

Confirmation code sent to your phone

Now, log out and back in, to be sure

You sure, right? Didn't change your mind?

Okay, confirm link sent to email

Okay, but, like, take a look at what you'll be missing. Are you really sure?

Oi, I'll let you in on a secret: we got a very special deal, just for you. How about that? Sounds good, innit? How about we stop this silly thing and get back inside, so you can enjoy this sweet, sweet deal?

Aight, get it. You hate good deals, and don't care missing out on what we have to offer. Please call us at 0118**************** and explain thoroughly why exactly you're leaving. Btw, can we get that written as well? Just, y'know, a little dissertation on the matter. Just mail it over to our headquarters

Aight, just so you know, we'll have to charge a little account deletion fee. Standard procedure, here.

Hate to see you go :(

We'll miss you tons. Come back anytime!

I knew that potato would come in handy!

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My 2fa tater rotted, how do I log in?

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 17 points 6 days ago

Use a PDF of the Wikipedia article on potatoes.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i thought that was !potatosim@lemmy.world what do you mean there's no !potatosim@lemmy.world

[–] dumnezero@piefed.social 64 points 6 days ago (4 children)

We're going to return to user + password in the near future.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 81 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Please drink verification can to continue

The code is at the bottom of the can and can only be seen be shining a flashlight down it. This completes Step 1 of the verification.

Oh and it changes your pee color so it can reveal the ~~passkey~~ pisskey verification QR code on the urinal in front of you to complete Step 2 of the verification.

It costs the company millions a year but at least no poor person gets anything for free.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

That pings your phone, you confirm that, which dispatches a dermatologist to your location to confirm your identity via birthmark. She hands you the frequency of a unique Chilean numbers station, you tune in to that and it reads off the one-time passcode you can use to login.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 6 days ago

Passkeys, more likely.

i never stopped

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

My mom says its okay to login

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Half the people in here have logged in with your mom.

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Sorry time=10pm and day=schoolnight so response was 'no'

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 47 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Honestly I thought it was great when OAuth started making it easy to use my various pre-existing IDs as logins for websites. But now I cant remember which one is which and my password manager doesn't give me any hints. Sigh.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Honestly that’s why I just stick with local site auth and a password manager. 1) it lets me remember things via my manager and 2) if it’s compromised, they’ll only have access to that site and not other ones I’ve used to log in with.

I generally do too. But then you're also at the mercy of whether the site was designed with even the most basic of security in mind. Luckily the password managers all generate unique passwords so one site getting hacked and plaintext passwords stolen won't get my bank info put at risk - but still.

Why can't i see your password?

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can see it, it's *******

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

haha, does that look funny to you?

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i put on my robe and wizard hat

[–] Zink@programming.dev 21 points 6 days ago

It's not the funniest one, I don't have an account, and I don't live near one. But if I ever see the option to log in with Jollibee on any legit service I am already using I am switching over to that ASAP.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 18 points 6 days ago

One more reason for me to make an OnlyFans

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 16 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Surely, potato won't sell my data, right?

What's more american than ordering a tray of spaghetti from a fried chicken restaurant?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

With cheese and hotdogs.

It’s actually quite good.

And the mango pies! Oh are they delicious.

Great, now I want Jolibee.

totally possible, given you can digitally sign PDFs.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I'll take the XL Pancit Canton, please.

I'm logging in with a potato!
