So just a moment ago, I am trying to sign up for Crunch Fitness because I saw that they had a grand opening in a location near me. Great, because I actually want to go to a gym to try and get back in shape.

And I had a 6-month freebie from where I work from the offers I am given so I think this is the perfect opportunity to get into this. And I was about to sign up as a new member to get this perk. So I jot all the information down and all that, until I got to the card.

I use Floorp which is a Firefox alternative and it infuriates me to begin with how this thing keeps forgetting my payment details. But it decided to do so here again. That means I now have to go on a stupid adventure to verification-land with Google to figure it out what the number of my card was.

I open Google Play because it has my payment info, but it only shows me the last four digits. And everytime I so much want to gaze or edit my payment info, I have to waste minutes for Google to tell me that it wants me to view my assigned security number. To do that, I had to grab my phone, go to Google, go to Manage Privacy and Data, go to Security and then find the stupid code.

But that wasn’t that simple. No, it notified me “HAY! WOULDN’T IT BE COOL IF YOU SET YOUR PHONE SECURITY UP WITH A PIN OR A PATTERN?!”. What the fuck does THIS have to do with Google and getting my code?! Nothing!

So fuck it, fine, I’ll make a stupid pin that I’ll have to come back and remove because I am a user who likes quick access and not to be hindered by such things. I rarely have security issues on my phone for years.

I do that, only to find that the Google Payments only told me the last 4 digits of my card. When I was expecting to see the whole thing since it is only me now viewing it. What the fuck? Why can’t you just show me?!

Fine, so I go to my bank’s website because I know they’ll show me. Sign in, go to Cards, had to wait a bit for a stupid video to play as it is connecting with my cards, wow SOOOOOOO fancy! Unnecessarily fancy. So it fucking connects and I can see - wait no! - I need to have a security token verification sent to my fucking e-mail. FUCKING HELL!!

I fucking do that and FINALLY I can fucking see the fucking numbers of my fucking card after having to fucking go through all of that horseshit when Floorp could’ve just have fucking been useful and auto-filled my payment information so I didn’t have to go through this shit!

Oh yeah and when I finally filled out the payment card info, I am presented a fucking CAPTCHA before finalizing the fucking purchase! Fuck this shit!

Fuck Floorp, Fuck Google and fuck this hassle!!

    I’m not an expert on keepass. Bit warden is open source and free though (unless you want to get 2fa). I’m sure there are comparisons between the two out in the wild Internet

      KeePass is too. But it has no cloud support. However, I actually prefer this, just syncing may password database between my devices using syncthing. I read that bitwarden seems to have a bit more modern UI and is easier to use, but as I am used to KeePass I am happy with it. I guess both solutions are fine!
