Verification Codes.
One-Time my ass, more like, repeated times. I’m so tired of verification codes up the ass these days. Just today, I had to reset my PayPal password. So that meant there was a code sent to an e-mail address after the reset process was set, to begin with. Then I had to go through the obstacle of verifying the information of the account. And then even after the password was reset, I’m sent ANOTHER freaking code right after!
And it’s even more frustrating to deal with, with my bank. I’ve gotten random verification checks for making internal transfers within my account. Things I’ve done without any issue. But just one day, I got THREE verification checks to do what I needed to do!
This verification shit has gotten out of hand! I want it to just die, just like captcha. Whatever purpose they originally were intended to do, is lost in translation, because now they’re just obstacles that wastes our time every minute we have to bother with them.
Scammers, hackers, con artists, things of this nature. I’m old enough to remember being excited when the phone rang because it could be anybody, like my friends! Then I got scared of it because its could be anybody, even my boss or my debtors! Now I dont even bother looking because theres absolutely no chance its anybody I know or even anybody who wants me, its either an Indian guy about to trick me about my Microsoft Computer, or some computer program about to trick me about being a real person about to trick me about my Microsoft Computer.
Same for emails. Maybe the Prince of Nigeria really was in trouble one time and just got drowned out? Maybe one of the penis enlargement pills were just from a misunderstood genius scientist? We’ll never know because scammers have absolutely fucked every single line of communication we’ve ever been granted access to.
Just. Fuck. Off. Die slow.
