[β] cron@feddit.org 82 points 5 months ago (2 children) The play store description says it's an app for multi factor authentication for various EU services. The reviews are pretty desastrous though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 5 months ago (1 child) how hard is it to use standard totp, why do they keep coming up with their own non standaed totp like MFA? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] 4am@lemmy.zip 29 points 5 months ago (1 child) To get you to use an app thatβs locked to the Google Play store, so they can identify you and your devices and who you interact with regularly with certainly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago That's what your phone number and email are for; neither of which are explicitly tied to the fascism of big tech. permalink fedilink source parent [β] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago Reviews are openly gamed, and worthless. I suspect that monied interests have paid to give it low scores with their ai firms, actually indians firms. Because on Anrdoid at least, every app has a near perfect rating, with fake reviews written, and last I checked they didn't even let you start at the worst first. On amazon it's the same except they allow you to go to worst written reviews first as I recall. It's openly gamed with the assent of these companies, the platform. Like one of my podcast players, leaves a lot to be desired, especially on the search function, and can't find episodes that exist to an incredible extent. They periodically have a pop up where they ask me to review them, Give them 5 stars, a perfect rating, or do it later, there are no other options. permalink fedilink source parent
