  1. So, #passkeys ...

    Websites keep encouraging/forcing me to set up passkeys. Yet, most websites only give me this option ONCE, and then never let me set up additional passkeys on other devices. Then the sites basically try to stop all other logins.

    Is it impossible to have two passkeys for a website on two different devices? What is the best practice for #logins with multiple devices these days?

    Am I missing something obvious here?

  2. #Landlords Demand Tenants’ #Workplace #Logins to #Scrape Their #Paystubs

    Landlords are using a service that logs into a potential renter’s #employer systems and scrapes their paystubs and other information en masse, potentially in violation of U.S. #hacking laws, according to screenshots of the tool shared with 404 Media.

  3. Erneut haben #Hacker zugeschlagen: Eine riesige ungeschützte #Datenbank mit 184 Mio. Nutzer-#Logins für #Google, #PayPal und andere Dienste wurde im Netz entdeckt. Woher die Liste stammt, ist völlig unklar. winfuture.de/news,151100.html?

  4. #PasswordReuse is rampant: nearly half of observed user #logins are compromised
    Many users recycle #passwords, creating a ripple effect of risk when #credentials are leaked.
    Based on Cloudflare's observed traffic between Sep-Nov 2024, 41% of successful logins across websites protected by Cloudflare involve compromised passwords.
    When including bots 52% of all authentication requests contain leaked passwords found in our 15B record database, including Have I Been Pwned.

    Is this something that's built into every* #WordPress installation? Could my WP site be affected?

    I've been getting quite a number of attempted* #logins by losers with no honor or higher purpose and with nothing better to do with their sad lives.

    So far I don't notice any weird signs of actual intrusion... But maybe I'm just too clueless to notice. 🧐 #NotATechie #websites #blogs

  8. Weird login day today on 💩itter....

  9. #automating the #browser with #python can be done with #playwright and #selenium

    if your #logins are involved, you might want to use #cookies

    next, you can use playwright in headless mode, that is, no extra window is going to open, the tasks are going to be carried out kind of invisible, inshallah

  10. CW: PSA (Tumblr)

    FYI: it seems like one cannot browse a Tumblr blog without a popover eventually demanding a log in.

    This might be important if, say, you are (or were) using Tumblr as your front-facing website. There’s only so far your average anonymous user can scroll before they’re screened from seeing your work.

    (I have in the past recommended Tumblr as a super easy portfolio site for animators etc.)

    EDIT: may not apply in all circumstances. 🤷‍♂️

  11. Probably the best idea for cutting traffic to your web site that serv s #ADs is to #ratelimit and turn ON #logins so the #OpenWeb is subjected to .... *Checks Notes*

    .... Less #ADs that use to generate moneys to non-logged in users on your web site.

  12. Have you ever heard of a passkey? 🤔 Wondering how it works if you have multiple logins and devices? 🔑 Any ideas?!

    @bitwarden have you started supporting this feature yet?

  13. Mit Windows Hello und anderen Präsenz-Systemen kann sich #Windows11 recht eigenständig um #Logins, An- und Abmeldungen und andere Dinge kümmern. Jetzt bekommt das Betriebssystem neue Optionen: winfuture.de/news,135719.html?

  14. Many people use their primary email to sign in to practically everything. That’s a privacy nightmare, and you might be shocked to see how easily someone can use it to effectively stalk you and violate your privacy, and also track you right across the Internet.

    Even with the new passkeys logins, it seems like we'll still have an ID to be identified by. There are still some sites (generally older ones) where you can choose any ID or username to have as a login. That makes it much more difficult for anyone to hack your credentials, as they must guess both the correct ID and matching password.

    I think the reason that e-mails became the default user ID is because website designers as well as users just got lazy. It's probably the same reason why so many people use the same password too across all their sites, and which is why passkeys are coming out as the only way to actually break that habit. We don't want to be tracked or hacked, but we don't want any extra effort either...

    The end of the linked article does give some suggestions though around using e-mail aliases. But a word of caution, be careful of using say just the Apple service as then you are tied into the Apple service. Either ways you may get tied into the alias service, so give that choice some thought (unless you are aiming for just disposal e-mail addresses, as then that is not a problem).

  15. Using Your Real Email to Sign In? Your Privacy Is at Risk, but websites should stop using E-mail as a Login ID anyway

    Close view of a login screen showing a prompt for phone, e-mail or username, with button labelled Next and another for Forgot Password.

  16. So this whole #punkrock #web3 seems to be, in the last month since the #SocialMediaOnePointOh myyyygawddddd 🐦💨👀👀👀😲😱 'thing' happened.... Accelerated due to a #TippingPoint being reached and literally people revolting like #voting with their #logins or something. ☑️🗳️☑️🗳️🧐

  17. Page from #mastodon #instance #writingexchange (writing.exchange) #monitoring #access to account.
    Questions:
    - How do they know from what device the user is logging in?
    - How do they know that the user hasn't logged in "for a while"?
    - Are they #monitoring the users' #devices and #logins?
    Without acknowledging the user?
    - Is this #commonpractice on #mastodon #instances ?
