I just had a nightmare in terms of those supposed "digital protection".
I ordered an item from the south american "Amazon" (Mercado Livre).
It was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but its already night here and nothing.
So, I went to the site to check wtf was happening.
The site simply said: "We dont recognize your device. Do this 2 factor authentication".
Ok.
"Now, use your QR Code and insert this PIN".
QR Code generally are terribly implemented in most things. This was no exception. It simply said that it was expired as soon as the page opened, so I had to wait one minute for a refresh.
Inserted the PIN, and it was bugged. The page got stucked.
Refreshing forced me to reenter the 2 factor.
Then the QR Code + PIN.
1 minute wait because the system is faulty by design. It already open with PIN expired.
Then it worked the second time.
Next, obviously they asked my photo. Because why not. They got my face.
Twice.
Then they asked me to get back to the computer.
Then they asked my ID.
They got it.
Then they asked me to wait 24h till they complete the verification process. And NO login.
Just wait. You cant use you account you have been using for the last 2 decades.
Jesus, this is pure madness.
