Verification Codes.
One-Time my ass, more like, repeated times. I’m so tired of verification codes up the ass these days. Just today, I had to reset my PayPal password. So that meant there was a code sent to an e-mail address after the reset process was set, to begin with. Then I had to go through the obstacle of verifying the information of the account. And then even after the password was reset, I’m sent ANOTHER freaking code right after!
And it’s even more frustrating to deal with, with my bank. I’ve gotten random verification checks for making internal transfers within my account. Things I’ve done without any issue. But just one day, I got THREE verification checks to do what I needed to do!
This verification shit has gotten out of hand! I want it to just die, just like captcha. Whatever purpose they originally were intended to do, is lost in translation, because now they’re just obstacles that wastes our time every minute we have to bother with them.

Go away: Any automotive HVAC controls that are not three simple fucking knobs. I’m going to wreck my wife’s car fiddling with the touchscreen, which has a 2-second delay before the press actuates. 🙄😡
While we’re at it, give us back AC vents that rotate 360° and open nearly 180°.
We had these things perfected over 20-years ago!
My job has a lot of driving. I’ve been put through multiple driving courses on safe driving. We have literal rules about not being able to turn left into our parking lot. Everything is safety, safety, safety.
They bought vehicles where almost everything is on the touch screen. The solution? Tell us to set everything before we drive and pull over if we need to use the touch screen…
What really annoys me about the bank is all the options we should have to safe guard our accounts that we don’t have. I should be allowed to not allow deposits or withdrawls or allow them for specific white lists like internal accounts or specific external ones (granted transfers do have a special process where it has to be setup). credit cards should not allow online purchases with the physical card unless you opt in and physical cards should not use the main account number. They should always provide a separate gas card with a different number given the skimmers. They should always allow you to create temp numbers for online and reoccuring bills. there are so many freakin things that financial institutions could be doing to safeguard accounts better.
Yes! The banking system is freaking archaic.
Enshitification and capitalism are fighting for first place
Enshitipalism.
They’re the same thing
Enshitification is stupid people buying from companies that continuously fuck them over. Capitalism is supposed to operate on the principle that people simply won’t buy from such companies. As it turns out, WRONG.
These stupid Cookie- popups. Damn, every site uses cookies. Just let me set my preference once, across the entire internet, and shut the fuck up.
If you use uBlock Origin, you can go into the settings under filter list and activate all lists in Cookie Notice, Socials and Annoyances. Makes the web much better.
Thank you! I had all but one checked
There are a few browser plugins that suppress them. None are going to catch and eliminate every one of them, but they can reduce the frequency. I use I still don’t care about cookies.

I can’t stand the growing idea that you can’t be trusted with a password and default to emailing a login link every single time you log in.
This gives me RAGE. If you can’t trust your users with a simple password, how can you trust them to keep their email secure?! Let me use a friggin password!
Especially on sites where it doesn’t fucking matter. No one is interested in hacking my power or internet bill.
It is a pain in the ass for me to pay my wife’s student loans because they keep wanting to email her verification codes. Who gives a fuck if an unauthorized hacker breaks in and pays her student loans?
Same for my mortgage! There’s literally nothing on that ghetto website but the payment option. No PII, nada.
that’s the fucking worst on mobile.
Can I interest you in having to scan a QR code every time you log in? How about opening YouTube?
No one else said it yet?
Modern, mainly LLM-based, AI.
Can’t think of any ways it’s made my life better, except for maybe some like search where it’s helping mitigate the slop flood it enabled.
Meanwhile, it’s ruined my job. Many people will lose jobs. It’s destroyed trust in anything I see online. Accelerated destruction of the environment. And myriad more neagtive impacts.
“One time” refers to how many times you can use a single code.
Conversely, your account password is many times.
Log in masks that don’t have {user} and {password} visible at the same time/navigable by pressing tab.
So many pages have started to implement {user} pressing next/enter and then password, its fucking with my password manager. And the delays when you can start typing again are different all the time…
I’m so irritated with the ones where the password manager and even fill things out because it doesn’t recognize the form at all. But the ones that make me really mad are the ones that won’t accept autofill. Like it will fill but, the website doesn’t recognize that anything was input because you didn’t actively type it so you have to go type a character then backspace on both lines so it’ll let you submit.

I could do without another two years of President Donald Trump until he’s finally out of office. At least this time, he’s going to have Democrats in Congress with investigatory powers, but I’d just as soon not have to have him creating his endless stream of disruptions at all.
He’s getting close to not being able to be on camera. Hang tight.
