- I make websites
- If someone is banned twice (two accounts) I want it to take them more than 5min and a VPN to make a 3rd account
- I’m okay with extreme solutions, like requiring everyone to have a Yubikey-or-similar physical key
- I really hate the trend of relying on a phone number or Google capcha as a not-a-bot detection. Both have tons of problems
- but spam (automated account creation) is a real problem
What kind of auth should I use for my websites?
Password managers hate this trick
I suspect screen readers and a11y tools hate this as well.
It’s not as bad if it’s only on sign up, because you’re normally not autofilling there. But it’s still bad for accessibility
It’s definitely not as bad for sign up, but it’s still a problem because usually after hitting “submit”, the password manager will detect what you just did and pop up something like “want me to save that?”
