The more times they require a sign in, the more places they can track you across anonymous/ private tabs.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

More like a trillion dollar company, and they put out some of the worst software in the world.

[-] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 22 points 12 hours ago

I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn't do shit (at least in my work environment).

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

try clearing your cookies or whatever on whatever browser and sign in page for that, I need to do that every now and again and I lose my shit every time.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I never have to re-sign into, well, anything as long as I:

  • Don't reformat/reinitialize the device I save the login on
  • Don't log in from another device on services that only allow 1 concurrent login (like Steam)
  • Don't clear my cookies

The last item is gonna hurt a lot of the extreme privacy people. I know y'all never save cookies.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 3 points 6 hours ago

Wait, since when does Steam only allow one concurrent login?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net -1 points 6 hours ago

It's been that way since release.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

That's just not true, I switch between devices all the time

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Well, you're lucky then. I don't do any of those things on my work computer, and that checkbox might as well not exist.

[-] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

I have to use this shit for work. If you don't set your cookies to auto delete it is basically impossible to go through the Microsoft SSO after around a week. Just use a decent password manager if you can and press enter 4 or five times.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

It would be that easy, if not for "please approve login on your microsoft authenticator app" step which means i also have to pull out my phone, unlock it, find the stupid app and then type in the code

[-] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Think god I don't have to deal with that. It's not even surprising that it can be even shittier though.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 21 points 16 hours ago

Microsoft successfully converting a generation to Linux one Log in at a time, I commend Microsoft for having a socialist agenda so secret they don’t even know about it.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

never bothered with that as i usually dont spend more than 5 minutes in there

That you own media you bought.

After that, "I have read and agree with the terms and conditions".

Here's a reminder to sign this initiative if you are a citizen of EU and spread the word about it everywhere if you are not!

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting "No", "Never Remember Password", unchecking "Stay Signed in", disabling "Password Manager"

I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don't need automated help.

Kroger's stupid fucking app does this every time for their separate pharmacy login from their normal login. I just gave up and always do guest refill. It's a pain in the ass but it actually takes less time.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Same for Ubisoft Launcher.

Sorry. You're not a tenant of this place. Maybe try another account with the same email address but a different password that is from a home or work or student or was made by your employer or by you or is attached to your domain name, and give us the code on your authenticator and the one we just pretended to email you and sorry something went wrong and we need to quit and you need teams classic or modern or your OneDrive for business or personal or the sync service isn't running..

Or local account.

[-] kopasz7@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Reading this gave me PTSD. Locked out due to expired password (what is a reminder email, who needs those?), can't access anything corporate, submitted ticket to IT on web portal, IT is trying to reach me via Teams...

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago

Death by 1000 sign-in screens.

[-] fin@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 day ago

I switched from Windows to Linux yesterday.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 22 hours ago

Still get this on Linux for school and work emails.

[-] sag@lemm.ee 29 points 1 day ago

Cool, But I still need it for my Minecraft account

[-] don@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

You pays your money, you takes your choice.

Must be nice.

Apple*: We care about your privacy.

*or basically any company that collect data

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 19 hours ago

Apple is way more privacy conscious than Google, which I appreciate.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

Google is literally anti-privacy so... "better than google" is ... still not necessarily good.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

The bar is in hell.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago

TRUSTED partners.

If the other comments knew the details, the response would be terror not annoyance:

Management types in smaller, growing businesses are shockingly susceptible to the promise of "cleaning things up" by making everything a "Microsoft shop", even when that means transferring data and control to Azure (competitors also try but MSFT almost always wins)

They're happy, they own nothing and they don't even know it

Note: this is largely referring to corporate accounts

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Trickle down economics.

You can't use a VPN if it's not a company device, so we'll make it significantly easier and use a VDI.

First, open the client which will require you to log in and MFA via text. Then you select the one and only environment to connect to, which will require a log in. Once you are connected to a pool you can RDP into your workstation or servers, that don't retain usernames no matter how many times you try to save it.

Oh and for security purposes it has a 5 minute lock policy for RDP. And another few minutes for the VDI session so you'll have eto log back in twice.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Don't forget you have to change your password every 60 days for security, and cannot reuse the last 5 passwords.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

15 characters minimum, with at least one upper case, lower case, number and special character with No more than 2 repeating characters
