Oddbean new post about login | logout so good. yup, must have (at least) 2 digits at the end. cool they don't lock you into a random number and you can manually enter a number to see if it's still available.
Didn’t know you could manually enter a number! It didn’t seem to work on iOS when I tried. Maybe I’ll try on Android. I’d still prefer not needing phone numbers (attack vector) or vanity usernames at all, but rather have a globally unique random identifier. I like how Session does it. But I understand the tradeoff for needing a pleb-friendly identifier paired with a recovery mechanism.
very cool. it worked great for me on molly just tapping the numbers section and entering what i wanted. and yes, i agree. still a big win imo. love that you can change the username unlimited times too. good stuff.
