login with meow :3

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Login with sudo

[–] MHard@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It’s finally getting more widespread use. I‘ve had a machine readable ID with biometrics for two decades before I was able to actually use it for the first time online.

[–] MHard@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

I was really impressed that I could do my Spanish taxes with my German ID. Other government services don’t support it yet though

[–] guy@piefed.social 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So while login with potato is nice, how would you log in with an calculator? Do a math problem?

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

You open your calculator app, launch the integrated Microslop Copilot and try to answer the security questions it generates randomly

Login with a log in an inn.

Login with my constant back pain level.
(You enter your value on a scale from 1 to 10.)

Login with a dB reader of the sound my knees make under no particular strain.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Login with browser fingerprint

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Are butthole prints supported by the same system?

I don't have a fingerprint reader ...

Login with Pass A38 (Asterix reference😏)

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 150 points 1 day ago (24 children)

"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 81 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My government does this actually.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

24h timeout for security.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 20 hours ago

Ahahah ah. Germany sends its regards.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 18 hours ago

OMG Verizon.

I JUST saw this yesterday when resetting my password.

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

Login with the contents of your .bashrc

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

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 9 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

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.

PID - ~~personal~~ Potato ID

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

Would prefer "Login with a whistled jaunty lil' tune."

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Verification can?

Login with Calculator: For when you don't remember your PIN but you remember how you came up with it

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

Yes, you did: OpenID.

I remember when I first read about it (late 2000s? not sure when), I thought it was an awesome idea and surely the web of the future would be full of "log in with OpenID" buttons.

Instead it is now full of "log in with Google", "log in with Facebook", "log in with Microsoft" buttons.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

You can’t arbitrarily trust any OpenID implementation. I could easily have authelia report that I am schnurrito and the app has no way to confirm that.

[–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 19 points 20 hours ago

It is just a framework. OpenID en OIDC are probably used by those companies to federate user access.

What PDF should I use to log in?

[–] mech@feddit.org 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] org@lemmy.org 25 points 23 hours ago

Fucking systemd and their dna fields

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

Yeah DNA sample was what I was gonna suggest

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 17 points 22 hours ago

Choose any one of the other ones tbh.

[–] gil2455526@lemmy.eco.br 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It is missing the Brazilian gov.br login.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Also the Hungarian Digital Citizen idp.

[–] g_blob@programming.dev 2 points 13 hours ago

I unironically like this.
