    From a privacy perspective it’d be annoying if the default weren’t one-identity-per-website, though. That’s how it ought to work. If the user then wants to instead use a single one (akin to how OAuth logins allow you to use a single identity for auth purposes) that’s on them, but it should not work that way without explicit enabling.






  • I mean, from the sound of it, it sounds more like a poor choice of backend tech (syncing via Google Drive instead of your own server + allowing exports elsewhere) + an unwillingness to actually get certified for the required security.

    In theory, as a user, we should not at all dislike companies having to jump through more hoops to proof they’re not shitting our stuff out every orifice the moment we close an app. Of course, it being synced to Google Drive is essentially just that so I feel the added security requirements are a weeeeee bit misguided here.

    But I also don’t get why a developer would do that in the first place. It’s such a weird ghetto way of syncing your stuff to just copy a file around Google Drive. It’s what I do (well, with Onedrive) to have a synced FFXIV user settings folder. 😅 I expect professionals to do better than that, basically.
