       That's probably the stupidest IT thing I've seen this year, but...My bank retired its smartphone app in favor of just the web page. Like in good old times, right? Wrong.When you visit the said page, it fully loads, but then a huge banner appears that asks you to scan the QR with your phone.You scan the QR and... it just opens the same page in your web browser ON THE PHONE. So you can't use the web page on desktop, only on the phone.Of course I did the only logical thing. I just toggled Developer Tools in my desktop browser, changed the resolution to some phone resolution, opened the page, and IT WORKS.People get paid for these ideas.

       @chesheer But, the problem is that bank website is just checking against browser resolution.It would mean it's not even checking against user agent, which is anyway very easy to spoof, or any other kind of hardware access browsers usually give to websitesSo, yeah, I sense huge security problems ahead

       @chesheer it's not the security, it's how secure it feels for the uninformed usersthe international financial system is held together with duck tape, naivety and government violence

       @chesheer Unfortunately, eventually some fingerprinting JavaShit will be added that detects that you are not using a demon rectangle and refuse to operate.
