First World Problems

The worst is when you log in with a username and password and they say”we have sent you a six digit code to your phone” Why?????? Obviously I have the password and user name. If you do not trust that method to be secure then stop asking me for it! I’ll just put my user name and you send me a text….
Cost. Determining who to send the SMS to significantly reduces cost and abuse.
 
I did try the " go on your own approach ", however I was met with the usual " you`ll do anything for your mates, but you won`t do anything for me " :lol:

The only saving grace, was it didn`t have one of those twee little garden centre tea rooms, otherwise I`d have been forced in there to, to drink a crap cup of tea, with a load of pensioners and fellas like me, who all had that " I`m glad it`s not just me " look in their eyes :lol:

Why does stuff like this seem to be universal....

I bet if you gave some random, nomadic Mongol man on the plains of the Western steppes, access to the internet he would somehow put a like on this and tell his own version of the same situation.

Multi-factor authentication is due to human ingenuity and laziness all at the same time. Server gets hacked, email+passwords are attained; humans use same passwords for multiple accounts so human's other accounts get hacked because of this; comprehensive identity profiles are eventually compiled/stolen, humans complain. Humans complain about methods designed to prevent their first complaint, which was due to their own laziness.

Rinse, repeat.
 
Babies crying in business class. You're paying extra for the better experience. High pitched shrieking is not a better experience.
I often see myself as others do, a bit miserable and depressed and even this has my soul crackling in absolute hilarity at the lack of self awareness.

Passwords. Passwords on everything....Im only trying to book two <insert expletive> cinema tickets!!!

Both of those are remedied by remembering 1 password for your password manager.
 
Building community.
Was having work done on the front of my gaff a few years ago. Builders turned up and started work at an ungodly hour, my absolute wool neighbours come out and (rightly tbh) complained to them, anyway they chat chat chat, their wife comes out and it turns out they are related by some trend; these fellers are absolute wools by then way as most come to work in Liverpool. Anyway, neighbours mentioned im a blue “to make things worse”, so the tradee goes “why are you are UTD fan?”

No I’m a Liverpool fan mert” in the most St Helens accent you could imagine, silence. (This all happened outside my window btw so I had to cover myself in hysterical silence)
 
Another first world problem…. Food packaging…. I mean the plastic trays that your ham/chicken/bacon come in from the supermarket…. PEEL HERE >

Yeah, like this has ever worked for anyone, you end up with a tiny bit of plastic wrapper which has snapped off in your fingers forcing you to dig a knife into said packaging to gain entry.

And don’t get me started on the little foil/plastic peel off thing on milk these days.
Designed by a vegetarian I think. Evidence for this is the fact that the veggie products my missus gets peel perfectly and easily every time. The technology exists.
 
How is that? The password and user name are already filled in when the host wants to send you a text
Well, I use 1Password personally, Bitwarden at work - most/all passwords I have are stored in there and range from 16 to 20 symbols, randomised. You remember the master password for either and the rest is usually down to autofill. MFA/six digit authenticator codes can also be saved in the app so it autofills them too, unless they're Microsoft Authenticator specific.

The Email one is a bit annoying though, can't do anything about that. iOS is good at reading them, if they're on a push notification or if the email app is open in the background (I've found lately), but not sure about anything else that can help there sadly.

‘Bitwarden at work’ is a terrible password, but still, don’t be sharing it on here…

IT problems in general, mate… Like when the missus asks why is the cookie and internet search history on the web browser cleared every time she opens it, and then doesn’t buy the answer you provide her with?! 😳
