ICQ have collest way to login

[Klen]

Was just login in to web profile of icq,and noticed you can login by SMS code only so i tested it and it indeed working.(it gives you 5 minutes to login with it before it expire)Yet people claim how that shitty thing called skype is better.But i noticed one other change as well-there is no more nickname,only first and last name,so what you write as your first/last name is now displayed.So,will anyone in adult implement such login procedure ?

The last thing this place needs is a pro-ICQ thread. Down with the devil! Down with ICQ!

Sorry... it had to be said.

Implement such a login process where? And why? (what's the problem it would solve?)

ICQ is the fucking devil and all traces of it should be burnt. Please anyone still using ICQ deserves a good kicking, I personally won't deal with people if they leave ICQ but no Skype.

I understand that you saw it on ICQ's site, I am asking about your suggestion/question to have it implemented in adult. Are you suggesting that consumer sites (paysites, etc.) in adult should implement sms authentication?

No i was referring to webmasters sites like affiliate programs,traffic brokers,finance sites,etc...
But even for paysite sites this would be good,as it is more secure then username/password,it would totally eliminate password sharing.

Most finance sites already have two-step authentication in place.

For 'lower risk' websites (such as affiliate programs, rtb platforms, etc.) I see the suggestion as a huge headache, since you would have to enter the unique code you received in a text message every single time you logged in as opposed to using a good password manager.

Same for B2C sites, most surfers either remember their pw or save it or write it down. The one-time code authentication would be an inconvenience. I see convenience more important than pw sharing.

One thing's for sure: the current u/p method is broken and is ready for innovation. Some interesting developments are taking place in biometric authentication.

Using a password manager is indeed fastest way to login to website,but there is still a lot of people who login manually(either by using text file with passes,or remembering passwords)so that would still work for them.Also,i didn't said how that should be only way to login- that would be a bit crazy as not every person have cellphone or want to use cellphone for that purposes.so it should offered along with classic authentication.But still it looks like a best method when we calculate speed and security factors,and since you already mentioned two-step auth,namecheap have sms auth along with u/p auth,and having just sms auth it would be definitely faster yet still secure.

I still use it although I've trimmed the contact list to just a few old school friends. Still have a small stack of short numbers.
