> I don't really see the problem with things like "divorce, leaving domestic violence, ...". More like when changing one's username/email/phone I want to address this specifically. Because these things are very related. I used to work at a company that made your username "first letter of given name, and lastname". So for me, wbrown. Now imagine you married someone, and took their lastname. Lets say in my case I married Alice Green (exampple name). And I changed my name to William Green. I join this company and that's my username. wgreen. Now something happens between Alice and I. Something that hurts deep inside, and causes huge pain. Every day at work I login with wgreen. A reminder of the person who inflicted so much harm. It's not just a "change of username/email". It's a change of identity, and allowing someone to not have to have reminders of horrors. That's why it's so important that these values are *not* used as primary keys and identifiers anywhere because developers get into these weird "oh we can never change it" positions. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Firstyear Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1763#issuecomment-1176853347 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
