Primary Password is replacing Master Password
Those words don't mean the same thing, though. I would think a "master password" gives me access to anything any of the other passwords do, but "primary password" implies it has access to more things than any other password but not necessarily everything. If you must change it to appease what is probably like three people, call it the "supreme password" or "ruler password" or "king password" or "ultimate password".
@dang can we get a ruling on whether this submission violates the HN guidelines? Whenever something goes from flagged to vouched over and over it's being driven by ideology.
- peoplefromibiza 4y agothese "solutions" are so clearly a PR move that they haven't even lost a minute to find a good replacement, they just went with the virtue signaling mainstream wording. If they stopped to think 30 seconds they would have come with root or principal that are much better replacements for master in the sense it is used here. But that's not what they had in mind, sadly.
