#112I was logged out of all devices and told my password was incorrect. It looks identical to a hijacked account attack and was quite scary until I started seeing similar stories from others.

Re: Meta outage
#115And rather than an indication that it is not working, I was just told to login again; since the attempts were unsuccessful, I was led to reset my password. Now I have no clue if the password has been reset properly or an old one is used, or login with google is used, or if I will continue to be logged out after they fix stuff. If your service is down, please say "my service is down".
I lament the fact error messages are rarely, if ever, displayed anymore. Just a generic message in its place, usually not even indicating whether it's a 'you' problem or a 'them' problem :(

real discussion happens in private spaces. everything on Twitter/Facebook/etc is performative. including my comment.
Re: Meta outage
#117What would take Google and Facebook auth down at the same time? Coordinated 0day patch? Or is the report of Google auth being down actually tied only to meta logins?
That's my best guess. And for them to log out every user in the world makes me incredibly curious about what would have happened if they'd chosen a different course.
