I've got a special level of hate for sites which make you select which location you mean before you can enter your username & password.

screw that! FIX YOUR ACCOUNT SYSTEM SO IT KNOWS WHERE I AM

UPS does this in a particularly shitty way. They don't make you select country during login. There's a country selector at the top of every page, and if you don't select the right country before logging in, everything works up until you try to submit the completed shipping form, then it gives a cryptic error like "please check address". You have to log out, select the right country, log in, and fill out the entire form again.

This isn't even a case of my account being on foobar.com vs foobar.ca or foobar.co.uk

This fucking site made me pick which of these east-bay cities I'm in. These cities are like 25 miles apart at most.

Lol. Doesn't Hayward share a border with both Fremont and San Leandro?

@JessicaTaylor I think union city is between Hayward and Fremont? But otherwise, yes.

to make it clear how close together these locations are, I live in San Leandro and the Hayward location is closer to me.

@foone that might mean they only keep your data in your country. Might, could also be just giving you that impression. Not all countries like it when you store banking data elsewhere.

@foone also, two-step logins where you enter your username or email, click next, then get prompted for a password, because they've accumulated a bunch of different auth providers and also have different "estates" for individual orgs with conflicting requirements and can't figure out how to glue all of those together in a coherent fashion.
