Communauto carsharing is adding a new security option to their login service. Their 1st option will be email 2FA, which is generally pretty good (better than SMS). Their 2nd option however, will be Biometric 2FA...
They had me in the first half, but completely lost me in the second. Numerous other online services have been asking for permission to do Biometric 2FA, and I always say no.
PEOPLE CHANGE. NUMBERS DO NOT.

Hello,
We wanted to let you know about an upcoming security enhancement for your Communauto account.
In the coming days, we will be enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA). Once this feature is in effect, when you log in, you will receive a one-time verification code by email to confirm your identity.
This change is part of our ongoing efforts to better protect your account and the security of our services.
In the longer term, we are also working on a second phase that will allow you to set up biometric authentication as an alternative solution, stay tuned for more details!
Safe travels, The Communauto team#communauto #montreal #quebec #carsharing #FuckCars #security

Update: Communauto replied to my inquiry about the trip calculator. The reason I couldn't get my calculations to match those of their trip calculator for this scenario is...
...a bug! My detailed notes helped them isolate it and their IT people are apparently working on a fix.
Well, at least I learned a lot about the intricacies of their rate structure trying to figure that out, and my spreadsheet is more robust for it.
I'm one step closer to the exit of this rabbit hole!

... So please help me figure out how #Communauto phases in their weekend surcharge:
Using their trip calculator (link at bottom), a 24-hour, 0km, round-trip booking starting at midnight on a Saturday shows each plan's daily max, plus the $3.50/day weekend surcharge. Makes sense.
The same trip starting at midnight Friday shows the daily rate alone. Makes sense. Same if the start time is ≤16h00 on Friday.
But after 16h00 Friday all hell breaks loose...

Thread: I've hit a roadblock in my saga of trying to build a spreadsheet to analyze my #Communauto usage.
While trying to make sure my calculations accurately mirror the results from Communauto's rate calculator, I found a strange edge case in how the weekend surcharge ($0.35/hr to a maximum of $3.50/day) is applied on trips that overlap weekdays and weekends.
I've spent the last two nights trying to understand how the rates are calculated and remain bewildered.

Un exercice démocratique que j’aimerai voir plus souvent. Communauto qui détaille le contenu des différentes plateformes aux élections municipales concernant la place de l’auto-partage:

Ça permet de voter informé vis-à-vis des sujets qui nous tiennent à cœur.

Having a brunch appointment and watching all the #communauto cars disappear as the time gets closer is becoming a regular weekend occurrence #montreal

Mistakes happen but man Communauto really fucked me over today. I made a reservation and just when I was about to take it, the app had an outage (on that, make sure you register your opus card on the app, that way if it ever dies you can still start your reservation with the card).
Turns out this has been an issue since 10 am, but they still happily allowed me to make a reservation and even sent me an email confirming the reservation. They better not fucking charge me.

Very smart move by Communauto (and City of Toronto if they were involved) - all the very-short-term-rental cars which are parked on city streets are free until 3pm Friday, to help keep them out of the way of plows and all the snow removed from them!

I'm really pissed off at Communauto/Vrtucar. Until a month or so ago, there was a car on Elm Street at the black X, and now there isn't. Preston/Somerset is now a #carshare desert (red circle).
This is right as my spouse just joined #Communauto and is about to scrap the old clunker and go #carfree.
I asked them about the Elm st car being missing and all they gave was a very generic "we welcome member suggestions for car locations" message. Pfft.

#CommunAuto requires you to *reset your password* once your application is accepted, in order to actually login to your account.Except... they don't tell you this anywhere in the activation email, NOR in the login prompt; it solely says that your account is not fully activated, and to "please wait"... :picardfacepalm: 🤦♂️ 🤦♀️ :blobfoxfacepalm:
Sigh......
