After becoming reliant on apps - for banking, for 2fa, for checking opening hours, navigation, public transport, etc - I doubt I could use a simpler phone today. I do still like the idea.
- ethbr1 3y agoFair, but this seems like tail wagging the dog. Wouldn't the more logical approach be to expose these services (even in parallel!) in simpler form that could be interacted with in text form? For all the apps you mentioned, I don't think of a fundamental UX reason they couldn't be.
- thih9 3y agoThey could be but it’s just as likely as html only web (most popular platforms require js / apps / tech used by the majority).
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoHow do you even use 2fa from the phone, are you really eyeballing it and typing it in on the keyboard? My password manager does that (took me forever to realize it), so I've de-2-factored my stuff and I can log in directly with my laptop.
- thih9 3y agoI press “ok” in a dedicated authenticator app required by a provider. It’s still annoying.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoLike, that app is the only one you're allowed to use? Because it seems like most or all password manager apps provide the functionality.
