I know that 2FA is not that convenient, but it greatly improves security. Especially for users who use the same email password combination for multiple accounts

But security tho! Security theater is actually super useful!
Step 4 is a bit optimistic. Usually when I search something there are 30 products of what I specifically don't want before finding the single listing of what I do want.
Recent example. Needed a 8v 1A transformer
Searched AC to AC 8v 1A
Every listing on the first 3 pages were universal AC to DC adaptors that didn't have an 8v setting. the dials all went 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12.

Alternative to steps 6 through 17: refuse to use any webstore that doesn't allow for guest check-checkout.
17a. Reject prompt to set up a pass key.
Take my upvote because you made me laugh; however, in all reality pass key is more secure, and should be used when available.

I'm pretty sure we could make this into a satirical puzzle game.
You would defuse a connected bomb by remotely shutting it down through an awful mobile app.
26: unsubscribe from the email promos that the site automatically signed you up to even though you didn't check the Subscribe to newsletter box, which requires you to log into the site and find and uncheck all the boxes in the "contact settings".
26a: Note that they will simply add more categories over time and helpfully subscribe you to each of the new ones whether you ever visit the site again or not.

you forgot that you need to select more options, scroll down, read every box carefully to make sure on doesnt mean off and off doesnt mean on, make sure you dont hit the button that ignores your choices and turns everything on anyways......
i fucking hate what this has turned into.
I just ublock every cookie screen and navigate in incognito mode so cookies publicity cooki s will have zero chances of actually getting read.
Not as it really matters. As most of my advertisement profile doesn't come from some random site cookies but from phone espionage.
20b : shipping is abusively eating up the low price
20C. Realize this is not the best price on the product. 20D1.
For i in range (your_breaking_point):
if i == your_breaking_point:
break
Return to step 1.
I am compelled to optimize this code:
pass
20D2. Get an email saying “You forgot something in your cart”
While it sucks, I think that's better actually. Let me cook lol
Websites that ship for free have to factor in the shipping into the item price.
Which means that if you order a lot of items at once rather than separately, you get no reward for being more sustainable.
Shipping costs ensure that people don't make inefficient, single-item orders unless they really need to.

Alternative to 7 they have this stupid magic email login where you cannot set a password but have to go to your mails everyone you need to login
I had one the other day, choose to login with password or the magic email link. I know my password, let me in fucker. Oh no, you still have to go to your email and click on some link to verify it’s really you.
Don’t forget that it saved all of your credit card info except for the secret code. then you search for the card and find the stupid code and enter it and then it tells you that there was an unknown error and to try a new card.
IMAP and/or Authenticator skips step 8 to 14.
