You kind of just have to click through to experience the madness. It's literally the worst. All the worst "features" combined into the worst interface of all time - so far.

I noped out upon looking at the password creation requirements.

Gave up attempting to prove that I'm human.

4:03, but some of that was fussing with stuff that didn't matter.

Delightfully horrible. I gave up almost immediately but I was cackling the whole time.

Enjoyed the "help" screen sliding up and down. Amused/annoyed (amoyed? annused?) at the checking age/birthdate and gender/title (more toward just annoyed at the latter, but I guess having the worst possible interface WOULD include erasure of anyone outside the binary). LOL'd at the select your country. 4:42

"Age and birth date do not match", with a slider that kept skipping two or three years at a time* was the precise moment when I felt my inner web developer's soul snap fully in two. I fully expect to see more of these ideas coming to 'opt out of data collection' policies soon...

*I of course did not use my real age or birthdate.

The fields pre-populated with text you have to clear AND visible background text that doesn't disappear... *chef's kiss* *chef quits*

I was laughing until I had to enter my street number starting at 1 and the prove you're a human portion made me click a checkbox on top versus below a photo. I had to abandon at 9 minutes to save my sanity.

Eh, still like it better than my bank.

It all starts with the giant NO button that has a nice onmouseover state but does nothing.

Gentle reminder that huge swathes of the internet are literally this, but it's you trying to keep control over your personal information instead of you trying to speedrun a fake website

I laughed so hard at giant green "NO" dot with tiny continue link below, that I couldn't even get started.

Would not get started again.

Reminds me delightfully of that Douglas Adams Bureaucracy game.

The "Send to Bottom" on the help pane slowly crawling downwards like the head of a defeated marketing intern was hilarious.

I couldn't get past choosing a password.

Just configure it so I can't use my browser's back button to escape it. Then it will be perfect.

I picked a password (Pa55word), but got to the end without a user name.

Dashlane actually autofilled a little bit of that stuff, which is more than can be said for some real web sites. So I guess what I'm saying is that there's a little bit of usability that needs to be blocked.

But at least it listed the password creation requirements.

Completed in 12:30 and the most annoying part was making me scroll through the T&Cs twice at a snail's pace.

I couldn't even FIND the continue link. The splash page is non-responsive. If I click on the big NO nothing happens, but there is no other link on that page I can find.

I'm too stupid to laugh at this joke, apparently?

Thistledown: It says to "click HERE to GO to the next page".

So click "HERE".

And yet it accepted a birth date of 30 February - as long as the year of birth matched the age slider, lol.
