Once every ninety days? Oh, such hardship.
I've logged in 7 times in one year, all 7 seven times I've had to do the annoying 2FA. Just as now a few minutes ago.
Probably because I use a different pc/laptop every time...
Apologies for complaining, but I'm noticing this bad habit popping up at more places, it's faster these days to log in to my tax declaration or student loan site than to OcUK... Ah well, just thought I'd give a different view than what most people replied to in this thread.
Who am I to decide though of course, but I think generally for cosumers security wastes more time and effort than it saves, especially the last few years. I'm sick of the obsessive security everywhere online
.
Regarding retailers in general, I tend to order/use the websites that are easiest to use and don't require filling many forms. Amazon is so easy to order that I just need 3 clicks. Steam aswell, just a few clicks... I'll rather pay more to get something with less effort than saving a couple of euro's on ordering it cheaper elwwhere, but where the process takes longer...
Enough forms and data to fill during work/at the office that I've grown to hate it everywhere else, especially typing over authenticator codes or copying emailed 2FA codes
.And yeah obviously I'm free to not use these forums. But for the sake of discussion I wanted to say 2FA is bloody annoying (not just at OcUKF)
You not read the rules? You are not allowed a new one and if the mods catch you - then you will have every account permabanned.
As if that would stop anyone, this is a pc enthousiast forum while anyone can use a VPN or create a new email addy, with an open registration it's a complete fantasy world to think a ban would prevent someone from rejoining...
