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

[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

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

Login with hunter2

login with meow :3

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 3 points 2 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 1 points 2 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

Login with sudo

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

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Login with Pass A38 (Asterix reference😏)

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Login with browser fingerprint

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Are butthole prints supported by the same system?

I don't have a fingerprint reader ...

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You don't need a fingerprint reader to have a browser fingerprint. https://amiunique.org/

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 hours ago

But my print reader is perfectly fine & I like using it.

[–] g_blob@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

I unironically like this.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 8 hours ago

Validation can where?

Login with 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.

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

[–] nimisnimi@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago

PID - ~~personal~~ Potato ID

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 5 points 10 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.

"Login with your Address"

  1. Insert address
  2. Letter is send
  3. Introduce code from the letter to authenticate

Who will implement this?

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

24h timeout for security.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 11 hours ago

Ahahah ah. Germany sends its regards.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 52 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

My government does this actually.

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

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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 1 hour 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 9 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

What PDF should I use to log in?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's key-based client authentication. Just open your SSH key's .pub file in Microsoft Publisher, then export to PDF.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Ah of course. And I could use a clip art of a key too

Me: 1234

Software: ACCES DENIED! THIS WILL BE REPORTED!

[–] gil2455526@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It is missing the Brazilian gov.br login.

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

Also the Hungarian Digital Citizen idp.
