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)

      Do you not charge it when you sleep? I don’t even have to charge mine every day because it’s pretty new and I’m barely on it. And I use GrapheneOS so it’s debloated.

        Probably just paranoid, but I can’t fall asleep if I leave my devices charging. There’s a nagging fear of the battery going up in flames while I’m asleep.

      I have a 6 year old phone which gets charged overnight as I sleep. It still makes it though the day. What the heck are you running which is chewing up your battery so badly?

        I charge my phone like once every few days at most, closer to once a week and I don’t run anything, it’s only ever used for music playback and store payment when I’m running errands, banking stuff or authenticator for work.

          m… me? sorry for offending you. I prefer keeping my phone charged instead of letting it comlletely discharge. no I’m not living on it, I’m living on my desktop.

          also I only read lemmy on the phone.

            Lol I’m not offended dw, was just a bit shocked that people make it a routine, because for me to go through the effort of doing that, it would mean i actually need my phone to be fully charged every day all day.

            I genuinely have no clue where my phone is most of the time and even being medicated for ADHD I don’t see any need to spend precious focused hours on the effort if would take to establish any kind of routine around it.
