Gawd sometimes I hate passkeys.

I have to deal with some fairly old people - people who have lost much of their vision and who have never been particularly technically minded.

The modern race-to-lock-everything has moved a lot of services (such as outlook) to move to passkeys.

That's nice - unless one is trying to deal with problems for an old person who is 800 miles away.

It appears that many of these services treat having a passkey as a one-way ratchet. Once someone (me) has set up a passkey (limited to my computer and phone) then the service switches to demand a passkey rather than the password to get in - but the old person's phone/computer does not have the passkey nor knows how to use it even if they did.

Our present Internet - largely programmed by young people with tech knowledge and good eyesight - is becoming increasingly hard to use by older people while things (like medical services) increase security that these people do not know how to use and can't be managed remotely.

It took her a long time to realise most people couldn't hear the soundtrack of their lives. Hers was always present; when she was with other people she could hear theirs too.

Sometimes they made a cacophony, sometimes harmony, when mixing with hers.

When it changed, she learned to trust it.

Not a sharp shot, but it's nice to see an Eastern Spot-billed Duck with 12 fluffy ducklings at Jiulong National Wetland Park, Lishui City, China
