SMS/email-based 2FA should die.
It’s better than nothing and some people would really struggle to do other types of 2FA.
Luckily, you don’t even need to check SMS or input a valid number with the “verification” in the screenshot!

You’re absolutely right! It doesn’t make sense to show the user the 2fa code! removes 2fa completely
Oh, I get it! You still want 2fa, you just don’t want the code to be shown! colors the text white
Oh you want the code not rendered into html!
Drops the code in javascript when it is received from the backend.No, no, make it ultra secure and display none it, every website will be a database of important information, you just have to put everything into a hidden table!!

IIRC the screenshot in the tweet is from a shitpost in reddits r/badUIbattles
Yeah and it’s quite old, this one has nothing to do with vibe coding.
That’s up there with: "You cannot use this password, it’s already in use by … "
But that’s so practical. Maybe I can contact them and ask them if we can swap. Haha
They were called scriptkiddies back in the day
Has the general discourse settled on a proper epithet for this new version?
“vibe coders” doesn’t feel derogatory enough.
“vibe coding” was supposed to be derogatory?
Yes. The original post that coined the term was using “vibe coding” to indicate how problematic it is to build software by generating code based on vague prompts.
But a lot of people didn’t read the entire post and just thought the term sounded cool and used it as if it was positive thing.
Now we’re seeing the negative impacts of vibe coding, just as the original post predicted. So it started as derogatory, somehow became something positive, but it’s going back to being derogatory again.
At least they had real intelligence, doing stuff like this is basically so stupid you’d be clinically braindead
This could also be a funny translation issue.
My bank sends a text message to me with the first code and a second code I enter.
They tell me the first code in a similar way so I can verify they sent it to me, then I enter the other code in the text.
It took me way too long to figure out what was wrong with this screenshot
Feels like testing feature, hopefully the screenshot isn’t from production.
I will be honest, it took me a good while to figure out what’s wrong
Same. And I came here to comment exactly that.
Assuming this is real, how the fuck do you fuck up so badly?
What!? It’s more user friendly this way. No need to make the user switch to a totally different device when you can tell them right here!
