frustrating how often my job gets in the way of my life's real purpose, which is to put my email address into an unending number of login fields and then wait patiently for a six digit code

a time traveler is asked "what is the future like?" and they respond "we have magical devices that give us access to all the information in the world and we spend 90% of the time on them retrieving codes and passwords to access it"
somehow my sister and my information got mixed up on one of the major online payment platforms, so whenever I buy something she gets the confirmation emails, but whenever she buys something I get the 6 digit code texts. no idea how it happened or how to fix it. fun twist on the formula!
What’s really fun is working for a non-profit where 6 people need access to the same account from 15 different devices, but only one person’s phone can get the activation code.
sometimes I don’t have the choice! and anyhow at least a third of the time I’m putting my email address into a *brand new* login field which then also requires every piece of my vital information and which I will use again at most 2 times in my life
I never feel like more of an absolute rube than when I'm sat waiting for a six digit code in my email, a code I never asked for and would prefer not to sit around waiting for like an Absolute Idiot.
could I do something else while I wait? yeah, probably. will I? ...no
When I watched Severance, I thought: their job doesn't make sense. But when you put it like that, perhaps I'm working at Lumon too since my life's purpose seems to align with yours. :)

All Condé Nast pubs are like this for ex. You can’t get in without opening email. Detestable
