  1. Username
  2. Password
  3. MFA
  4. Do the whole process all over again because the remember this device is on step 2 and it's impossible to go back

Bonus stage 0: special login URL decided to crap out, and going back to any point in history automatically redirects to the error page that you can't use to log in, so you need to keep going back and trying to copy the URL before it redirects becausw Firefox interprets pressing "stop" as "do whatever you want idk"

Fucking aws...

You forgot step 2.5: incorrectly identifying stoplights 6 times in a row.

Oh fuck, the stone piles -thing is the worst of those. Tiny images, badly generated so you can't see shit, multiple rounds that have six or so images each round, you can't make a single mistake, and you get to know did you make any mistakes only after completing all of the rounds. It's straight up abuse

Once I had to try over five times and still kept failing, so I just gave up. I guess I'm not a human anymore

It took me years to learn that you're supposed to do them very slowly. Otherwise it will keep bothering you to fill out more. Pretend you are 80 years old and you're good to go on your first try.
