I recall a YouTuber who used their cats butthole for their fingerprint sensor to unlock their phone. It could be that they wanted to try it but never did, though. It's been like a decade.

No, It must be an ass word, not just your ass

I'm a big fan of "Login with a potato" lol

[–] nimisnimi 4 points 4 hours ago

PID - ~~personal~~ Potato ID

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm digging 'login with caution.' I like to think it's mostly the same generic login page but with 'Warning: you are logging into site X. This will involve the use of your sensitive login credentials. Take precautions against their loss or theft.' and yellow/black hazard tape borders on every div.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I agree with that one. That was actually the first one that caught my eye for the same reason. Something about login with a potato is just hilarious to me for some reason.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

A unique identifier potato.

"THIS IS MY POTATO!

THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE!"

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Finally a kind of biometric login that I can get behind.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago

Login with Calculator: For when you don't remember your PIN but you remember how you came up with it

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Creating a pin with the number pad then having to remember it with a normal keyboard... 🫠

Haha I used to do this all the time for my credit card PIN. Every time I had to enter it I had to get out a calculator as I didn't remember the four-digit number but I did remember the expression I used to derive it.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

What PDF should I use to log in?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

It's key-based client authentication. Just open your SSH key's .pub file in Microsoft Publisher, then export to PDF.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, you did: OpenID.

I remember when I first read about it (late 2000s? not sure when), I thought it was an awesome idea and surely the web of the future would be full of "log in with OpenID" buttons.

Instead it is now full of "log in with Google", "log in with Facebook", "log in with Microsoft" buttons.

[–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 16 points 6 hours ago

It is just a framework. OpenID en OIDC are probably used by those companies to federate user access.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 130 points 10 hours ago (27 children)

"Login with your Address"

  1. Insert address
  2. Letter is send
  3. Introduce code from the letter to authenticate

Who will implement this?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 hours ago

OMG Verizon.

I JUST saw this yesterday when resetting my password.

I expect they just mail you a temporary password with 2FA turned off.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

Token has expired. Please try again.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 hours ago

Ahahah ah. Germany sends its regards.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 74 points 10 hours ago (6 children)

My government does this actually.

Found the Filipino

credit card login in my mind: registration by account balance. To be able to login, match your balance to the same amount you had at the time of registration

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think you have too many pixels in this picture.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

The other pixels have been used to log in to this website.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I log in by scanning my ass on the office printer. I have a very distinct butthole print.

[–] gil2455526@lemmy.eco.br 20 points 8 hours ago

It is missing the Brazilian gov.br login.
