Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?
Here is a screenshot of my Bitwarden: https://imgur.com/a/UdG7Inb
They include some really important things such as: Health
insurance G-Suite for work Bill.com (which I use to get paid)
IRS.gov (which I use to get un-paid) UK Companies House Register
Interactive Brokers My bank Obviously, anything with OAuth is
"bundled" into my Google account. So if anything this is a huge
underestimate. I'm asking because of how insane auth has become. I
know companies like OnePassword and Bitwarden are working on this
and overall they do a great job. But I still have a near-stroke
every time I have to do the "forgot my password" loop, or use Duo
Mobile/other 2FA. The only really good auth feature I've ever
encountered has been Apple's "fill from Messages" feature as well
as their Touch.

| Maybe it's just me, but I try to never use centralized identity
| providers (outside of things that I really don't care about) and
| use separate e-mail auth whenever possible, across multiple
| e-mail accounts (some self-hosted). Same with considering
| separate Google accounts for phones, services like e-mail, a
| separate one for any content creation on YouTube and so on
| (ideally without any of them coming in contact with one another).
|
| The idea is that one account getting closed/suspended shouldn't
| result in ALL of the linked stuff becoming inaccessible. I don't
| even do anything weird online, it's just that nowadays you hear
| lots of stories about people getting banned based on some
| heuristics by automated systems, with no ways of getting in

| those systems up. Similar things have happened to me before (a
| SaaS provider didn't want to do business with me) for no good
| reason even without a VPN, but trying a year later with the same
| credit card didn't result in the other account being auto-
| suspended. How odd.
|
| I guess the next step would be to have usernames, phone numbers
| and even payment methods (apparently virtual credit cards
| sometimes work) also be more randomized and more
| compartmentalized, though something tells me it'd be a pain to do
| that. That said, I largely believe that privacy online is mostly

| Why the hell no?

| At worst "an anonymous form" can ask for your mobile number
| only to remind you about the appointment (if it's not today
| for example). At best it should be really optional. In both

| password.
|

| in what you need, your number with SMS code confirmation and
| you are in, with your address/es and pizza coins or whatever.
| And they have your number to contact you if anything is wrong
| with the order/delivery.
|
| Another one just asks for a number and call back to confirm
| with an operator.
|
| Why the hell I do need _a login, a password and
| email|Facebook|whatever_ for a pizza delivery?
