Stephen FryInvolving myself in the sweat and infarction inducing horror of British Airways’ horrifically terrible mobile app has made we wonder why there is no equivalent of the #razzies for apps? My suggestion would be for an annual #Crappies Awards ceremony. Worst design. Worst UX. Greediest In-App Purchase Demands. Most Endless Ad-Loop (I’m looking at you, CandyCrush) Most Pointless Function. I’m sure between us, Mastopeeps, we can think of 10 or 15 categories.
Paul Barnfather@stephenfry there should be a special place in hell for apps that refuse to allow autofill from password managers, instead forcing you to manually enter your password “because security” 🤯

Ben Chapman@clanger9 @stephenfry This! Really really really annoying!
Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦@clanger9 @stephenfry Especially when it is the bank account of my 84-year old mum, who has to write to every time ten-digit all-numeric login and similarly (not only numeric) password. Special place in Hell!
By-Tor@clanger9 @stephenfry "Please enter characters 3, 13 and 17 from your password"....grrrrr
OoVaVoO
Not a doctorDishonorable mention to those app/sites that require your answers to security questions be at least 8 characters
@ducker @stephenfry oh that is tragic! “Sorry, the name of your dog does not meet our security requirements” 🤪
Chris Stevenson@clanger9 @stephenfry stumbled across this sometime later, but there was a UK bank site that would present you with a password screen where you had to fill in only some of the letters. Insane and unusable.
Something like this:
Enter your password

It’s a LONG time since I banked with Hal*f*x but it still pisses me off.
