A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

they just send a OTP to your email with the idea that you should be keeping your email secure (and that email providers are more secure than they can be)

Given how common it is for people to use the 'reset password' link for this exact purpose, it does make it seem kinda redundant to even implement passwords on many services to begin with.
