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)
Logging out of google account on Android devices
Maybe some stock brokers or whatever application they use to day trade
This question reminds me of The Every by Dave Eggers.
I would go with android auto, or Google maps. Nothing like having to log back into your sat back system, every 15 minutes, while driving.
The number of car crashes it would cause would bring a lot of countries to their knees for a while.
Gmail
The number of people that would break when they couldn’t access their email when they opened their phone… You could measure it with public health statistics.
It occasionally happens with elderly.
Almost all use the default mail app on iPhone. They have sbc global era addresses. It’ll occasionally ask to reauthenticate. Think it’s happened at least 30 times in 2 years.
It’s a crisis everytime lol
“What’s your password?” “I don’t use passwords.” MFW 😐
To see the chaos, definitely some place like yt. Imagine you are watching an hour long video essay about something you love but you have to keep interacting with the website/app in some way that disrupts the video every 5 or so minutes or else you get locked out and require 2FA every time.
I imagine after a long enough time, the lazy people would just quit going and using their service all together. I know I would.
Twitter… wait no that would actually a good thing to force people to step back even only for a few seconds
Whatever application code is running on pacemakers.
Not now but soon: lemmy.
Make the logout random. This creates addiction which will turn lemmy into mindcrack.
I think your example wins, OP, but I will say for anyone who works in an office environment: Microsoft Office (or Libre alternatives for my FOSS friends which don’t have logins to begin with but whatever).
Imagine if you had to log in every time you opened up a document, and you get automatically logged out after 10 minutes of inactivity and lose any unsaved progress.
Global productivity would grind to a halt. (That, or people finally switch to LibreOffice or similar, but corpos will still reliably do whatever decision seems dumbest).
