I don’t see the issue? DoorDash authenticated that you own the email account via a trusted third party. Once authenticated they authorized you to use the account associated with that email address.
It’d be like someone else booking a hotel room as you. When you show up at the front desk they verify it’s you and then let you into that room because it is after all... yours.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI suppose so. I guess we assume that email ownership is digital ownership - even though they never verified that the user in fact owned the email? I wonder how that legally works - was I in the wrong for unwittingly accessing someone else's information?
- l8again 7y agoActually, it's more like someone else booked a hotel room as OP. Since they were there in person, the hotel gave them the room key, and they are in that room taking a shower (updated the phone number in this case). The OP goes in and asks for a room, presents his/her email, and since it matched receives the key to the _same room_. OP then walks into the other guy's room while they are in it. At least that's my understanding of it. edit: grammar
- dylan604 7y agomaybe if you said you lost your key, but if you come in and ask to check-in, the clerk isn't just going to hand you a new key. they're going to say, but mr. soandso, you're already checked-in.
