How can I efficiently delete all cookies, continuously, except certain session cookies in certain specific containers ? (lemmy.ml)

I need fine grained, automated cookie controls I have tried these addons

Cookie Manager Cookie Quick Manager Cookie AutoDelete

And the problem is always the same.

It is TOO DIFFICULT to only have one exception for one cookie in one account container

Creating containers for every single website is also extremely tedious and buggy.

And deleting all cookies all the time, means I am re-logging in into everything all the time, often a 5 to 10 step process not counting 2 factor and it is VERY annoying

I have a password manager, it is still over 8 steps per login.

Do you want security or convenience? It seems like you can't have both in this situation.

Yes in theory they could be storing everything on the server if you have a session login In practice, anything they leave on my PC I will flush If that breaks some of their tracking ability, that's even better. I don't want to keep anything more than the actual session cookies, everything else goes in the trash after 20 minutes of inactivity

I just put up with entering 2FA multiple times a day.

I wish more sites would allow my Bitwarden to use SSO.

I see many services making SSO a premium feature

See https://sso.tax/

Thia tells me the cumbersome awkwardness of the login process is not an accident

I haven't seen it be a premium feature. I just don't see many offering it as an option.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The page I linked documents where SSO is in a higher price tier, often bundled with other stuff of course.

But that's how they make it a premium feature even though it's not a line item you can purchase separately

I'm using the free Bitwarden, and I have SSO set up anywhere that allows.

If it means for Bitwarden itself, I prefer to use my crazy complex master password to secure my vault.
