The eight year old in me cheers. My grade school teacher beat my singular use of they/them/their out of me. At the time, it seemed ludicrous not to use they/them/their in cases when I didn't know someone's gender. I assume this was due to my first language. Farsi doesn't have gendered pronouns: everything is "it".
Bahaha! Now I can gleefully write "when the user enters their password" and be right.
I'm not sure how I feel about this bit though...

Perhaps consider using unisex names instead? Maybe "Alex" and "Bo"?
