Story: so I tried to login to my bank account via selenium just _once_. After being unsuccessful, I go back to login as normal, and have to change my entire password and verify my account via email.<p>But that's just my bank.<p>Accessing Linkedin on a different computer? Gonna need to dig out your old email address password to get the code from that account verification email they just sent.<p>And god absolutely forbid you should be accessing a Google service from a different/unfamiliar machine. If you don't have a number on file with them (lol), or haven't updated your recovery email in a while, you're legit locked out.<p>Granted this is a bit of a rant, but why on earth is account verification in this, the year 2020 just such a paranoid, terrible user experience where every company takes an uncreative, heavy-handed approach to identity verification?
I dont mind a bank, but facecook? The site where people gossip about their travels wants me to download their 500MB app on my phone to verify me in order to post a silly picture on my game’s page. Twitter just banned my crypto-prices bot for the third time. I m not giving them my number again. I give up, this is sillyness, and i notice growing resentment from people too.
