Or even an account for that matter

    I would rather have 2fa than the magic link email bullshit. I am so fucking tired of sites assuming I don’t want to use a simple username and password, and I clearly want to have to wait on email delivery to be able to access my account instead of JUST ENTERING MY GODS DAMNED CREDENTIALS.

      There is an app on my phone that, after every update (and sometimes just because it’s bored) logs me out. When I log back in, it opens a browser to request a username, a password, and a random number that it emails me. The number is not in the subject line of the email, so I have to switch to my inbox to get the number.

      Unfortunately, half the time when I open the email, when I switch back to the web browser number form has forgotten that it’s a text field and so won’t open my keyboard. I haven’t yet figured out a way to fix this, other than waiting a few hours then trying again. If I force close and try again immediately, the same issue occurs.

        Ugh that’s frustrating. I’ve had similar experiences. Bluetooth keyboard was my savior which is really only available if I’m at home
