Unironically, in the EU with digital IDs it might actually be feasible to do a government ID login.

Sometimes I‘m thinking about hosting a lemmy instance that does that bit would not store your info just to fight the tide of astroturfing.

Login with a log in an inn.

Login with my constant back pain level.
(You enter your value on a scale from 1 to 10.)

Login with a dB reader of the sound my knees make under no particular strain.

Login with browser fingerprint

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Are butthole prints supported by the same system?

I don't have a fingerprint reader ...

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You don't need a fingerprint reader to have a browser fingerprint. https://amiunique.org/

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 hour ago

But my print reader is perfectly fine & I like using it.

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

[–] nimisnimi@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

PID - ~~personal~~ Potato ID

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.

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

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

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

What PDF should I use to log in?

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 9 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 15 points 8 hours ago

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

"Login with your Address"

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

Who will implement this?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

There's some tax thing here where they send you the password by post.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 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.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 hours ago

Ahahah ah. Germany sends its regards.

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

I think you have too many pixels in this picture.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

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