Jabor posted:which it does just fine, if you're signed in (e.g. if you're using the same device you created the account on) that doesn't hold at all for a mobile app -- they work fine without a password until you set one and happen to log out (minority of users, but if they do it's very high odds they will want to recover), because all mobile platforms have built-in identifier, and "same device" isn't detectable between browser and app.

Jabor posted:the app can sign itself up as the handler for that particular site's confirmation urls just fine that substantially fucks the user experience if the browser is meaningful on the site have you tried this and measured it? every confirmation pop up you put in people's way carves off percentage points of users, and percentage points of users is millions in revenue at IG's scale FB runs a half-dozen login/signup experiments at any given time, for the main site and IG/WA. the results are consistently stacked against more steps

the extra step is "Open in Instagram?", and equivalent (but more terribly worded) on Android, for which the cancel rate is non-trivial in other scenarios it's the same broken model used by every site on the web, assuming they bother to confirm at all. the failure mode here is loss of a new, low-value-to-user account. the failure mode of a more complex system is more users locking themselves out of older, high-value-to-user accounts because they didn't complete confirmation I will pass your thoughts on to the account access team, though, so you can save the world with untried approaches!

cinci zoo sniper posted:there's no good reason, so decent sites that don't cater to droves of non-technicals who die thinking of email have implemented a preverification on registration procedure. you enter email and say age, and confirmation link sent takes you to the registration form can you give me an example of a mobile app that does this? I'd like to try the flow

bobfather posted:One of my old email addresses (a gmail with a particularly popular name amongst a small group of people) became associated with a randos new Facebook account a while back. I did not have to click a link to verify the address for them, and I now get Facebook notifications meant for them. yeah, I argued loudly against dropping confirmation there

no, multiple emails are for pymk purposes the confirmation dropping was just friction reduction, afaik e: the change predates custom audiences, but I guess it's useful for that now too

Different topic: How much room is there in the password manager space? My sense is "not very much", but the enterprise offerings seem weak so maybe. Pitch I got: quote:[product] is an enterprise solution and the only password manager that encrypts and stores passwords offline on a smartphone while automating logins on any device. Nothing is ever stored in the cloud, giving convenience and peace of mind to the user and firm. The application uniquely turns a smartphone into a FIDO U2F certified token that only can be authenticated by the user / biometrics. Biometrics doesn't thrill me but I'm sure it's in demand. Cloudless is going to appeal. E: I get a lot of security pitches ("hardware entropy as a service for quantum crypto"), let me know if there's interest in sharing them in the general case

Powerful Two-Hander posted:i used a well know UK energy switching site the other day and after going through its setup stuff it created me an account on their service which weirdly required no password, turns out what they do is just link your account to your email address then when you want to login send you a one time(i assume) link with a token in it. slack does this as well

XP is on the extended support release since March, so it gets much less frequently updated. they'll get security updates through September, then they're as hosed as they should have been years ago vista is the same

I've had my card carbon-copied twice in the past three weeks, and it was very weird to me coming from chip-and-pin or NFC tap.

flakeloaf posted:it seems that knowing where you live would be a sensible prerequisite for buying things with a credit card my address can show up as Toronto or York depending on who does the lookup, and some sites like to "correct" it also, entering your apartment in the right way can be a pain. one of my cards insisted on "Apt C" with no . or as "Unit C" or such.
