I hate that my entire job at the moment is looking after those fucking login/registration flows. It’s NEVER simple, it’s always “Oh we want this in the flow too, and this, and this, and we want all these alternate flows but we want to be anonymous when we log in so we’re logged in, but as nobody, oh and we want to be able to log in as like 10 different emails all at the same time, and also if I sign into one identity provider and then sign into a different one, it should know that and sign me into the new one automatically. Third party cookies? I’m not talking about biscuits!”.
There’s so much bullshit I’ve had to staple onto our existing system just to make the login process even more complicated for business analysts that don’t know what they want.
