Billion Dollar company can’t even fixed this shit
More like a trillion dollar company, and they put out some of the worst software in the world.
I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn’t do shit (at least in my work environment).
never bothered with that as i usually dont spend more than 5 minutes in there
I never have to re-sign into, well, anything as long as I:
- Don’t reformat/reinitialize the device I save the login on
- Don’t log in from another device on services that only allow 1 concurrent login (like Steam)
- Don’t clear my cookies
The last item is gonna hurt a lot of the extreme privacy people. I know y’all never save cookies.
Well, you’re lucky then. I don’t do any of those things on my work computer, and that checkbox might as well not exist.
I have to use this shit for work. If you don’t set your cookies to auto delete it is basically impossible to go through the Microsoft SSO after around a week. Just use a decent password manager if you can and press enter 4 or five times.
It would be that easy, if not for “please approve login on your microsoft authenticator app” step which means i also have to pull out my phone, unlock it, find the stupid app and then type in the code
Microsoft successfully converting a generation to Linux one Log in at a time, I commend Microsoft for having a socialist agenda so secret they don’t even know about it.
That you own media you bought.
After that, “I have read and agree with the terms and conditions”.
Here’s a reminder to sign this initiative if you are a citizen of EU and spread the word about it everywhere if you are not!
Kroger’s stupid fucking app does this every time for their separate pharmacy login from their normal login. I just gave up and always do guest refill. It’s a pain in the ass but it actually takes less time.
Same for Ubisoft Launcher.
Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting “No”, “Never Remember Password”, unchecking “Stay Signed in”, disabling “Password Manager”
I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don’t need automated help.
Yeah but that won’t help you if your password gets stolen somehow and someone is trying to log in from India or something
If anything, remembering your password or persistent sessions are worse for security. You’re better off with mfa, passwordless authentication and using a password manager
Yes it would be exactly the same actually, how would any of the things I described help in that scenario?
My bad I thought you were talking about 2 factor
Yeah 2FA is cool.
More lies.
Death by 1000 sign-in screens.
Sorry. You’re not a tenant of this place. Maybe try another account with the same email address but a different password that is from a home or work or student or was made by your employer or by you or is attached to your domain name, and give us the code on your authenticator and the one we just pretended to email you and sorry something went wrong and we need to quit and you need teams classic or modern or your OneDrive for business or personal or the sync service isn’t running…
Or local account.
Reading this gave me PTSD. Locked out due to expired password (what is a reminder email, who needs those?), can’t access anything corporate, submitted ticket to IT on web portal, IT is trying to reach me via Teams…
If the other comments knew the details, the response would be terror not annoyance:
Management types in smaller, growing businesses are shockingly susceptible to the promise of “cleaning things up” by making everything a “Microsoft shop”, even when that means transferring data and control to Azure (competitors also try but MSFT almost always wins)
They’re happy, they own nothing and they don’t even know it
Note: this is largely referring to corporate accounts
I switched from Windows to Linux yesterday.
Still get this on Linux for school and work emails.
Cool, But I still need it for my Minecraft account
You pays your money, you takes your choice.

I was but I play multiplayer mostly.
So you on Bedrock Edition…?
Java has multiplayer as well, and not all servers allow cracked Minecraft. There are “online” servers (that require you to buy the game) and “offline” servers (that allow everyone).
Java.
Must be nice.
Apple*: We care about your privacy.
*or basically any company that collect data
Apple is way more privacy conscious than Google, which I appreciate.
Google is literally anti-privacy so… “better than google” is … still not necessarily good.
The bar is in hell.
