If you had to ruin an entire app/website by integrating automatic logout, which app would you choose to achieve maximum damage? (lemmy.ml)

My guess is 2fa code apps. Why you ask? Because blizzard already did it. They use their own proprietary 2fa code generator app called battle net, so I have to use it. So after a few months/years of casually not using anything remotely connected with Mr. And Mrs. „Muttermilchknacker”

explanation

(A word derived from the „Panzerknacker” series of comics where the same named group of idiotic bandits try to break open a gold vault full of money, which I use since the scandal where someone stole the lactation bottle of someone working at Activision)

, I finally decided to try Overwatch 2 again, and when I tried to use my login app to confirm my login, I found myself logged out. And when I tried to log in again, I had to use the Authenticator, which I was logged out of, to use my authenticator, in order to log into the authenticator, in order to use the authenticator, in order to log into my authenticator (I could keep going like this forever)

And that's why I use a url on my desktop to a 2fa generator that also decodes it with the 2fa key as an argument. It's like a password sticky note on the monitor, but for 2fa haha.

I would like to know more about this magic URL and how to set it up

I've found two that work but one is playing up, just append your key where there is [KEY] and save the shortcut

https://totp.danhersam.com/?key=KEY

https://2fa.zone/2fa/KEY (broken but https://2fa.zone/ works)

Example: https://totp.danhersam.com/?key=7J64V3P3E77J3LKNUGSZ5QANTLRLTKVL

Hey uh, is it such a good idea to send your 2FA key to some website on the internet?

[–] Voldemort@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Most certainly not! Haha, you'd need a lot more information than just the key like what the 2fa is for, a username and password. But if your internet access is ever spoofed by someone or there is a hacker that traces your IP address back and tracks your activity, that information can be found.

It should only ever be used for non important things.
