This is why I haven't started using passkeys. Managing them is looks complicated and I don't understand the ramifcations of what I'm doing.
Also a style nit, it's OK to use "he" or "she" pronouns in a contrived narrative. The "they/their" usage really detracted from the clarity of the example.

- kgwxd 9mo agoI don't think I would have even realized why I felt tension reading if you hadn't mentioned this. They/their wasn't confusing at all but, giving the hypothetical user a name was the weird part. I realize now I was expecting some other user to enter the scenario the whole time. Alice and Bob style. When I got to the end, I felt like I missed something. If there's just one, "the user"/"they"/"their" is fine.
- bad_username 9mo agoThe author's concern of "misgendering" an imaginary person (with ab unambiguously female name) is quite odd.
- ezfe 8mo agoIt's obviously okay to use he or she - not sure why it wouldn't be. I'm confused why you have a problem with the author's choice not to - I don't see any clarify issues caused by it.
