  • For some reason, when I registered my phone number for delivery notifications, it made a passkey and registered it with my account. It never prompted me to save the passkey, so I had no idea where it was supposed to be used. I immediately deleted it because I was concerned I wasn’t going to be able to log in if I logged out without knowing what that passkey was and had it in my password manager.



  • If you’ve been using passkeys, you’ll need to generate new ones when you switch. AFAIK, they aren’t exportable from Google or Apple. Which, among other reasons, is why I’ll just stick to high-entropy passwords. I’ve had some sites like Amazon try to sneakily make me register passcodes, I’ve had to go back and tear them out before they screw me somehow.











  • I had a friend describe this method as well, though he was a bit more direct and grabbed the piece with pliers and pulled it out, usually fairly bloodily. Then he’d bandage it up until it stopped bleeding, and watch it grow back and clip it if it started edging back out to the side.

    I had it happen a couple times and used his method, and then I heard someone say if you cut the toenail straight across instead of following the curve, it wouldn’t do this. Since I started that, I haven’t had it happen again. I just use electrical sidecutters and don’t cut them super short either.
