Haha. Slack. Someone at work with Slack admin privileges has set the login expiration to something less than 24 hours. I think it might be 12 hours, but no one

Haha. Slack.
Someone at work with Slack admin privileges has set the login expiration to something less than 24 hours. I think it might be 12 hours, but no one can determine it exactly. No one knows who has done this, or who has privileges to fix it. We have 2 factor, but when it redirects me to a webpage, it doesn't redirect to the page where I can just put in the password... it redirects me to some other page where I can log in "passwordlessly". I have to hunt around for the correct link. On my phone, the app doesn't log me out ever, so I use the phone app. But I'm nowhere near as responsive, and I can't really do anything but answer questions... trying to read code or look at screenshots on the tiny screen doesn't work for me.
On the "app declares my phone too old" thing, for me it's restaurant apps. Chicfila, McDonald's, etc. At least 3 or 4 of them. I don't even understand why, the backend rest api just sends a signal one day that says "you're kicked the fuck out", and their UI picks up on it and blockades me. The customer hostility seems so deliberate that I don't know what to make of it.
- binarymax 3y agoI’ve been happy to take my business elsewhere when apps arbitrarily stop supporting my phone. It boggles the mind that the endless pursuit of feature growth leaves loyal customers in the dust.

- dr_kiszonka 3y agoIf you are using an android phone, there are ways to allow you to use mobile Slack on a computer.
- livueta 3y agoHeh: my employer has done the inverse, where desktop slack sessions live forever but phone slack gets (silently!) logged out every 24h. This makes it basically useless for getting pings when afk. As a result, I'm actually quite happy about this development. Accidental work/life balance enhancements ftw
- justinclift 3y agoYou really installed apps from restaurants? That's not a joke yeah?
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoNo, I like going to the counter and having the ijits put my order in wrong.
- justinclift 3y agoInteresting. I hadn't thought anyone would really fall for it, but clearly some people do. :(
