My guess is 2fa code apps. Why you ask? Because blizzard already did it. They use their own proprietary 2fa code generator app called battle net, so I have to use it. So after a few months/years of casually not using anything remotely connected with Mr. And Mrs. „Muttermilchknacker”

explanation

(A word derived from the „Panzerknacker” series of comics where the same named group of idiotic bandits try to break open a gold vault full of money, which I use since the scandal where someone stole the lactation bottle of someone working at Activision)

, I finally decided to try Overwatch 2 again, and when I tried to use my login app to confirm my login, I found myself logged out. And when I tried to log in again, I had to use the Authenticator, which I was logged out of, to use my authenticator, in order to log into the authenticator, in order to use the authenticator, in order to log into my authenticator (I could keep going like this forever)

    Nah I work in cybersec, the reason these systems are in use is because of compliance standards that are created as insurance corpos have against each others’ incompetence during vendor reviews.

    Problem is as anyone working in the corporate world can tell you they are infinitely incompetent and their reviews are a clown world clusterfuck. But that’s what they get when the unifying motivation is greed, and everyone is paid by the hour.

    Personally seeing the C-suite with their rolexes and shit, I ain’t too fussed letting the clock run out due to their bullshit, I’m just gonna go play CTFs or make drum and bass.
