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)

Gmail

The number of people that would break when they couldn't access their email when they opened their phone... You could measure it with public health statistics.

It occasionally happens with elderly.

Almost all use the default mail app on iPhone. They have sbc global era addresses. It'll occasionally ask to reauthenticate. Think it's happened at least 30 times in 2 years.

It's a crisis everytime lol

"What's your password?" "I don't use passwords." MFW 😐

I would go with android auto, or Google maps. Nothing like having to log back into your sat back system, every 15 minutes, while driving.

The number of car crashes it would cause would bring a lot of countries to their knees for a while.

To see the chaos, definitely some place like yt. Imagine you are watching an hour long video essay about something you love but you have to keep interacting with the website/app in some way that disrupts the video every 5 or so minutes or else you get locked out and require 2FA every time.

I imagine after a long enough time, the lazy people would just quit going and using their service all together. I know I would.

My bank locks me out after <5min of inactivity.
Lol! Let me at least configure the timeout instead of just kicking me out from some of the many labyrinths you required me to get into. >:(

My bank app does the same and will most likely log me out if I end up switching to a different app. I don't mind because I'd rather have that happen than have a stranger come up, steal my phone while unlocked, and be able to access my bank details (no matter how unlikely that scenario is).

Twitter... wait no that would actually a good thing to force people to step back even only for a few seconds

Alarm clock

Whatever application code is running on pacemakers.

Not now but soon: lemmy.

Make the logout random. This creates addiction which will turn lemmy into mindcrack.

If I restarted my 2FA proxy it forgets what authenticated and thus redirects you.
If you are done with some testing and want to get back to using something normal again, it get's quite annoying.
Best way to annoy me: Require (re-)authentication for services that should clearly be connected by a SSO (e.g. office.com and microsoft/live.com)

Maybe some stock brokers or whatever application they use to day trade

This question reminds me of The Every by Dave Eggers.
