Ah, for many long moments, I thought the "dual-key-turner" was a "dual-key-cutter" (but that it was a silly implemention, anti-parallel coaxial positioning of key blanks needs a complicated (pantograph?) cutting-heads system, more so than with parallel and adjacent blanks of any number). But now I'm on the right track and I laugh at the correct joke, and can think of any number of developments in safe (as in not 'forgotten') and secure (as in not misappropriated) password use that went into and out of the various "convenience for user"/"security for systems" modes, often mutually exclusive to the other mode. 172.70.90.61 15:33, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
I've long been annoyed that I can't use password auto-fill on Chrome's online password manager webpage. Barmar (talk) 16:36, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
