How GitHub Feels Asking You To Enter Your Password Before Telling You Password Authentication Is No Longer Supported

How GitHub Feels Asking You To Enter Your Password Before Telling You Password Authentication Is No Longer Supported
The AUDACITY of GitHub! First they're like "Enter your password, peasant" and then IMMEDIATELY after you type it in, they hit you with "Actually, passwords are SO last season, darling. Create an access token instead." 💅 It's like inviting someone to a formal dinner party, waiting until they show up in a tuxedo, and then announcing "Sorry, we're actually doing swimwear only now!" The DRAMA! The BETRAYAL! The unnecessary authentication hoops we jump through just to push our mediocre code!

Make It Make Sense, Google

Make It Make Sense, Google
Google's security priorities are seriously questionable. When your account gets hacked? A single flimsy gate that doesn't even close properly. But log in from your new phone? Suddenly it's Fort Knox with seven different locks, chains, and probably a retinal scan that they didn't show in the picture. I've spent more time proving I'm me to Google than I have to my own mother. Nothing says "we value security" like making legitimate users jump through hoops while leaving the backdoor wide open for actual intruders.

The Ultimate Guide To Self-Doxxing
The irony of posting a "One-Factor Authentication" verification code publicly on social media is just *chef's kiss*. Nothing says "I understand security" like broadcasting your 6-digit secret to 32.4K people! And the best part? It's dated June 19, 2025 - apparently time travel is easier than basic security practices. Next up: posting your password as a LinkedIn article for better engagement metrics.

Storing Passwords The Easy Way

Storing Passwords The Easy Way
SWEET MOTHER OF CRYPTOGRAPHY! 😱 The absolute HORROR of clicking "forgot password" and getting your ACTUAL PASSWORD emailed back to you! That's not a convenience feature—that's a full-blown security NIGHTMARE! It means they're storing your precious password in plain text like it's some casual grocery list! Any half-decent developer would be HYPERVENTILATING right now. Proper password storage should involve hashing, salting, and praying to the security gods—not keeping them in a "passwords.txt" file labeled "super important don't hack"! If a website emails your password back, run away screaming and change that password EVERYWHERE you've used it because honey, that database is one curious intern away from catastrophe! 💀

The Google Security Paradox

The Google Security Paradox
The duality of Google security: completely useless fence when someone hacks your account vs. Fort Knox when you're just trying to check your email on a new phone. Nothing says "we care about your security" like interrogating legitimate users while letting hackers stroll through the side entrance. The digital equivalent of TSA confiscating your water bottle while missing the actual threat.

The Password Time Machine

The Password Time Machine
When GitHub asks for your password but you haven't used it since they forced everyone to switch to personal access tokens. The mysterious GitHub entity with its ominous backdrop demands credentials while the poor developer, blissfully unaware, types "coder" like it's 1999. Then reality hits - support for password authentication was nuked back in August 2021. That moment when muscle memory meets obsolete security protocols. Your fingers remember what your brain forgot.

Software Development If Malicious Actors Didn't Exist

Software Development If Malicious Actors Didn't Exist
Ah yes, the utopian fantasy where we don't need to spend 80% of our development time patching security vulnerabilities and implementing authentication systems. Without hackers, we'd all be building flying cars and teleportation devices instead of arguing about whether to hash passwords with bcrypt or Argon2id. The most dangerous thing in this pristine cityscape would be a null pointer exception, and even that would probably just result in a polite error message rather than a system meltdown. Meanwhile, back in reality, I'm implementing my 17th CAPTCHA today because someone keeps trying to brute force our login page from an IP in North Korea.

Password Typed Quickly

Password Typed Quickly
You type your password carefully the first time - wrong. You type it even more carefully the second time - still wrong. By the third try, you're meticulously pecking each key like you're defusing a bomb. Meanwhile, the website's code is sitting there like: "Oh, you typed that password too quickly? Must be a bot. REJECTED!" Seven years of development experience and I still can't convince a login form I'm human. Next they'll ask me to identify traffic lights in blurry images while standing on one foot and reciting pi to 100 digits.

Password Requirements: The Final Boss

Password Requirements: The Final Boss
Admin: "Try a silly phrase for your password!" User: *types "Sausage-addicted Kookaburra too fat to fly"* Password requirements: "Your password must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character." User: *stares blankly at screen, contemplating career change* The eternal struggle between helpful password suggestions and the arcane requirements that make you want to just use "Password123!" for everything.

Is There A Way To Escape This Captcha Hell?

Is There A Way To Escape This Captcha Hell?
The absolute NIGHTMARE of being a VPN user! You're just trying to access a website from a different country, and suddenly the internet gods demand you prove your humanity THREE SEPARATE TIMES! 😱 reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, AND Cloudflare all ganging up on you like bouncers at an exclusive club who don't believe your ID. "Sir, can you please identify all the traffic lights in these 47 blurry images while we track your mouse movements and judge your clicking speed?" Meanwhile, your IP address is bouncing around so much these security systems think you're either a super hacker or a very confused toaster. The digital equivalent of being frisked at every doorway in a building!

Honestly Some Of You Deserved To Get Hacked

Honestly Some Of You Deserved To Get Hacked
HONEY, THE NUCLEAR REACTOR IS LITERALLY MELTING DOWN, but you know what's TRULY catastrophic? Someone wanting to use their precious little password instead of two-factor authentication! 💅 The absolute AUDACITY of refusing basic security measures while the digital equivalent of Chernobyl happens to your accounts! You're basically BEGGING hackers to waltz into your digital home, raid your fridge, and leave dirty footprints on your metaphorical carpet! But sure, sweetie, keep rejecting those temporary codes. The hackers thank you for your service! 🔥

OAuth Done Right

OAuth Done Right
When you ask a junior dev to implement OAuth and they take "social login" to a whole new dimension. Normal OAuth providers? Boring! Let's authenticate with a potato, your mom, and Beef Caldereta instead! Nothing says "secure authentication flow" like logging in with a PDF or your physical address. The cherry on top is "Login with Caution" - the only button that's actually giving sound security advice here.
