Because there’s nothing to do anything about. Why would they be sanctioned?

Passwordless isn’t 2FA……it’s passwordless.

The tech “enthusiasts” of Lemmy are really showing their arses in here lol. They have a “I took 2 semesters of computer science so I’m somewhat of an expert” level of understanding and mentality.
There’s a reason most big tech companies are starting to move to passwordless logins. If 2FA is the ultimate protection about unauthorised access, the password is ultimately irrelevant - and given all we know about password reuse and data breaches, getting rid of them is a good thing.

If they’ve got your phone with your 2FA they’ve also got your email on your phone lol

If a thief already has your phone unlocked then nothing else matters.
- Comment on Would it be correct to say that enshittification is the physical manifestation of the economic ai bubble bursting? 1 day ago:
No.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 day ago:
Yeh but with 2FA the password is essentially irrelevant because no one other than you can get in even if they have your password, so why not just skip it?
What downsides are there to passwordless authentication in your mind?
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 day ago:
It’s all just a big “in theory” really. It’s “insecure” in that if someone knows the telco you are with, and the telco that you’re with doesn’t follow procedures to verify that a caller is who they say they are, you could have someone else steal your phone number by getting a replacement sim card sent to them.
In reality it’s nothing to worry about. Like…at all. Every telco I’ve been with sends you a sms to confirm that you requested a new SIM card, and that’s after they’ve confirmed that you are who you say you are via sending you a code on your phone number or email.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 day ago:
To make it worse, SMS is incredibly insecure. Nothing should send you codes via SMS
Theoretically sure, but the chances of anyone getting their SMS hacked and their 2FA code being used to compromise their account is so infinitesimally small that it’s not even worth mentioning.

Because passwordless authentication is awesome and needs to be the standard.

So no proof, gotcha. Why didn’t you share the ban message which specifically shows the comment that got you banned?
Don’t worry, I know why.
- Comment on Supreme Court overturns Queensland's controversial puberty blocker ban - ABC News (Australia) 4 days ago:
Trumpian culture-war bullshit?

Where’s the proof it was for the comment you say it was?
- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 5 days ago:
The problem is that Windows 11 guts the muscle memory that older consumers have built up from using prior generations of Microsoft Windows.
What on earth are you talking about? lol
- Comment on Supreme Court overturns Queensland's controversial puberty blocker ban - ABC News (Australia) 5 days ago:
The important part is just that they didn’t follow the correct process to put the ban in place. They’ll just follow the correct process this time and it won’t be overturned.
- Comment on Twitter says passkey reset isn't about a security issue – it's to finally kill off twitter.com 5 days ago:
“To clarify: this change is not related to any security concern, and only impacts Yubikeys and passkeys – not other 2FA methods (such as authenticator apps),” X Safety stated.
“Security keys enrolled as a 2FA method are currently tied to the twitter.com domain. Re-enrolling your security key will associate them with x.com, allowing us to retire the Twitter domain.”
Physical security key currently tied to the twitter.com domain won’t work when users attempt to authenticate from the x.com domain, so they must be re-enrolled in preparation for what sounds like a sunsetting of the Twitter domain.

Because Reddit is run by the far left and there’s literally no way you got a site wide ban for asking that question.

How did you get that from what I said?

lol you definitely didn’t.
- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 1 week ago:
Probably the same uses as the basketball court that Obama had built.
- Comment on Why Are Some Democrats Backing MAGA's Anti-LGBTQ+ Censorship? 1 week ago:
One of the few things that seemingly all political parties agree on is that the government should get to control every single part of your digital world - especially what you can read/write/see online. It’s disgusting. The UK especially has gone off the deep end, arresting thousands of people under their new “online hate speech” laws for ridiculous things.

And I’m saying they couldn’t just cut them off lol.

You’ve got absolutely no idea how the real world works lol. This reads like some fanfic erotica for people who hate billionaires.
In a world like you’re talking about everyone would be out for themselves, not just billionaires, and at that point billionaires will have even more power because they could pay people to shoot-on-sight anyone that comes near their property, and they could just seize the means of production of whatever they wanted to. They can afford to buy whoever they need to, to get whatever they need to.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 week ago:
You act like billionaires are some smooth brained Neanderthals who will lose their mind in a few days if they can’t get their favourite smoothy lol
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 week ago:
If you’re certain there’s an AI crash coming then you could make a lot of money betting on it. Put your money where your mouth is and become one of the billionaires.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 week ago:
What do you think would happen to billionaires in that scenario? The richest people in the world, who all own their own islands and mega yachts and can easily pay anyone enough money to do whatever they want?
No one is “taking” what they want from them lol.
This time it’s different, though
How? How is this fantasised about economic crash different?
- Comment on [USA] Is "there are ICE agents roaming the streets" a good reason/excuse to avoid going outside? Or is it just a part of reality that you have to learn to accept? 2 weeks ago:
It takes ICE 2 minutes to determine your legal status.
