Like PHP BB.

Yeah, exactly.

So, you know, it's old technology.

And I was like, well, what if I wanted like what if other people in my family want to make an account on this thing?

They can't make one because once I had the first account, they would just get a login screen.

There's no, like, sign-up process, because why would there be?

It's not a public website.

Because if there was a sign-up thing, then anybody could go there and sign up for an account.

But I don't want that.

But I just want the people who I want to allow to sign up.

And I could create the account for them, but I can't create a passkey for them.

Because if I create an account for them, the passkey will go into my iCloud keychain and not in theirs.

Right?

That's the thing you could do with passwords.

You could make them an account with a temporary password and tell them what the password is, and then they'd have to change it when they logged in the old ways.

But with passkeys, that doesn't work.

And I was like, there's going to be no passwords.

It's just going to be passkeys only.

It's just all modern.

It's my website.
