I tried to login to booking.com, but it claimed that I hadn't registered yet. So I registered again, with the same email. It didn't verify my email, and after login out and in again, with the new password, all my old bookings were still available. So yeah... I was effectively able to change the password without any form of verification.

This was 20 days ago.

Amazing.

Having worked with auth myself in my programming career i have no idea what is going on over there when people have been posting about this issue for a year now apparently?

[talldatethrow]

It's obvious what's going on. The entire thing has been outsourced to a certain country and this is basically standard for work out of that country.

[organsnyder]

Shitty work happens in any country when you look for the lowest bidder.

[talldatethrow]

The entire construction industry is basically based around hiring the lowest bidder, especially in public works, and other than giant projects where somehow corruption allows them to collect more than their bid, these jobs basically get performed to a decent standard by the lowest bidder.

But even in programming, you can't tell me there arent well earned reputations out there.

[lazide]

Uh, have you worked in construction? Because that is definitely not how it happens.

[talldatethrow]

Yes I have, and my family has for their entire life, and I created an entire saas for the construction industry that has enough paying customers to support myself easily.
