    I’ve got a random username if the stupid website/app allows it. Most don’t. It has to be your email address.

    And a minimum random 20 char password for each website/app. Again if the stupid website/app allows it.

    Secure your (I don’t mean you personally) fucking website/app and credentials storage and stop making your weaknesses my problem.

    Most places, and all of my stupid financial websites/apps, only have phone/SMS as the second factor. And yet there are plenty of horror stories about people ‘losing’ their phone numbers.

    Oh wait. There is one financial site that has developed its own authenticator app. I really expect that to go about as well as storing passwords in cleartext.

    Then there’s all the shit websites/apps that I don’t give a fuck about that now insist on having 2FA set up. They’re not interested in the security, it’s just to get your email and phone number to onsell your data to whoever.

    It’s fucking security theater.

    Yep, tor me it’s because it requires a Pixel. And specifically poor Pixel battery life.

    I value battery life, and every Pixel I check out on gsmarena has an endurance rating < 90h.

    For comparison, my current phone’s endurance rating is 113h, and this is why I ended up shopping by chipset. Everything not Snapdragon had poor battery life. (Disclaimer: haven’t looked for a couple of years)
