minus-squarepingveno@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 years agoI can understand why they are doing it, though. Looks like they are pushing 2FA harder. Given what I have seen recently, that seems highly prudent.
minus-squarerysiek@szmer.infolinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-22 years agoAgreed, but it still feels somewhat inconsiderate (at least), and the only reason they can get away with doing it this way is because of their size. I mean, it really feels like they decided they finally have a good cover for screwing over small, independent e-mail clients.
