Login per Hour (LPH)
2 comments
Logging in has become a pretty onerous process these days.
I landed on a service used at work recently and legitimately had no recollection of how I was supposed to login: was it 3rd party? (login with Google, Github, etc). Did I have an account directly with the provider? Was it through SSO? I tried all of these and it didn't work.
Oh yeah, it was the one with a shared login stored in our team LastPass vault.
And now I also have a helpful blank account that was auto-created when I tried to login with Google that'll confuse me till the end of days.

I don't know. I get kicked from corporate VPN frequently so it's typical to re-login a couple of times for every day. I also have to figure out how to remove lock screen for MacOS because it's really annoying to do so when WFH.
Other than that I don't have much complain. Once I log in VPN there is no more logins required so I guess my case is easier.

I second that. It’s a great app.
thanks this looks good. I'll ask IT for permission.
Then, let's say we step away from the laptop for 15+ minutes, the whole dance has to be repeated. We can argue whether the above is representative or not but, from personal experience seems pretty close to previous.
Now, at a minimum we have to login (L) 1 time per day and if we work 8 hours (h) (no breaks, sorry) we get 4L/8h = 0.5 L/h.
This is not really true, as if it were it wouldn't be a complaint, so what's more likely is that there are 4+ times per day that the above is executed, which gives 2 L/h or once every 30 minutes we are asked to type in our password. Here are some examples for which one may step away from their computer: breakfast, lunch, dinner, bathroom, offsite appt., power or internet issues, ...
The above is an example of just 1 resource, there are other things that make password managers exist and be a must.
Why cannot we have 1 login per day (LPD) or even less, instead of what we have now?
