      You open your calculator app, launch the integrated Microslop Copilot and try to answer the security questions it generates randomly

    Unironically, in the EU with digital IDs it might actually be feasible to do a government ID login.

    Sometimes I‘m thinking about hosting a lemmy instance that does that bit would not store your info just to fight the tide of astroturfing.

      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.

        I was really impressed that I could do my Spanish taxes with my German ID. Other government services don’t support it yet though

    Login with log in an inn.

    Login with my constant back pain level.
    (You enter your value on a scale from 1 to 10.)

    Login with a dB reader of the sound my knees make under no particular strain.

        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.

    “Login with your Address”

    1. Insert address
    2. Letter is send
    3. Introduce code from the letter to authenticate

    Who will implement this?

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

          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.

      I expect they just mail you a temporary password with 2FA turned off.

      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.

            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

              Sometimes banks give you a PEC address, but it’s mostly for communicating with the bank, and you are paying for it as part of the bank’s services.

          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.

        It’s common for registration. Would be fun to have it for authentication as well. “My session expired. I need 3 days to log in again”.

    Yes, you did: OpenID.

    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.

      It is just a framework. OpenID en OIDC are probably used by those companies to federate user access.
