"Login with your Address"

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

Who will implement this?

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 92 points 2 months ago

My government does this actually.

[-] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 44 points 2 months ago

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

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

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.

My government sorta did this before... *thuder crack* DIGITAL ID!

[-] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 months ago

Ahahah ah. Germany sends its regards.

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 17 points 2 months ago

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.

Germany-Italy-Japan the Faxes-Axis remains strong.

OMG Verizon.

I JUST saw this yesterday when resetting my password.

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

I'm currently waiting on two separate authentication codes in the mail so the answer is, it's already implemented quite often.

I still can’t find my dad…

[-] Damage@feddit.it 12 points 2 months ago

Have you tried the "recover my dad" form?

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

There's the option to login with caution, but what if I want to login with reckless abandon?

[-] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 19 points 2 months ago

Choose any one of the other ones tbh.

[-] mech@feddit.org 36 points 2 months ago

Log in with 23andme.
To authenticate, you need an actual pin.

[-] org@lemmy.org 27 points 2 months ago

Fucking systemd and their dna fields

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah DNA sample was what I was gonna suggest

I'm a big fan of "Login with a potato" lol

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

Creating a pin with the number pad then having to remember it with a normal keyboard... 🫠

What PDF should I use to log in?

[-] darkmogool@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago
[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

It's key-based client authentication. Just open your SSH key's .pub file in Microsoft Publisher, then export to PDF.

“Login with Calculator” - No, no, no. Everybody knows that that option is just for the alarm clock.

[-] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Some dudes with oldstyle websites from web 1.0 times actually keep doing this. A friend of mine has a login with dog chip on his website among dozens of other options.

[-] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

dont forget about log in with neocities

[-] MHard@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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.
