Please visit identity.ic0.app/self-service to see which identities have been used in the past, if they have a recovery phrase set-up and how many passkeys are registered.
Aha, i see only newer models have this feature. Resident credentials are a way to save the passkeys on the hardware wallet instead of windows/phone. Iām learning everyday and it seems i need to upgrade my hardware wallet.
Why would someone have to use their recovery phrase? I mean was this something you guys expected or is because the migration has been going not according to your expectations
Is there a way to change the name of IID v2 accounts? I have a few with the same name and I have no way to tell the difference since there are no more account numbers
I think this page needs to be accessible from https://id.ai/, if it was I would not have needed to come to the forums and ask questions to complete my upgrade. Something like this would be great
Iām concerned about the UX and agree with others who have said essentially āif the devs are struggling with this, regular users will just give upā. The current process is confusing and stressful, and basic features like renaming or listing of accounts are missing. When I log out it returns me to the login screen but continues to show my account in the upper right as if Iām still logged in.
Iād focus on the user journey and really hold folks hands through the process. I have a number of friends who have created an account but donāt use IC dapps on a regular basis. If/when they come back, they are going to need their hand held through this process or they will just give up. The new flows work for new users, but casual existing users are really going to struggle
For now, you can workaround the renaming limitation by going through the upgrade flow again with the identity number(s) found in the link above. Keep in mind, to also rename the passkeys in your password manager, youāll need to either manually rename them there or create new ones and delete the old ones.
I meant with āreplacedā that the user himself had reset (changed) their recovery phrase at a later point after writing down the recovery phrase.
This means that the recovery phrase they had previously written down is invalidated, itās unfortunately a common issue that users have multiple phrases (current and multiple invalidated) written down after a few resets.
To clarify, the user has since been able to gain acces to their account (either through a valid recovery phrase or passkey).

Actually thatās the Help link on the bottom right of the first upgrade modal
This works, but feels accidental rather than intentional UX.
Final thoughts:
The upgrade process can be smooth, but currently relies too much on users discovering unintuitive flows.
A few small UX improvements would save users hours of frustration and reduce support overhead.
Question is, why Dfinity is perfect at doing complex stuff, with complex terminologies, flows, zero user friendly experiences, Iām starting to wonder if i made a good bet on this because onboarding users is completely different to how unicorns achieve mass adoption.
Overall perfection is only as strong as its weakest link. And even once youāve reached the best it can possibly be, new features along the way will inevitably be introduced, resetting the path until everything is refined and fine-tuned again for the next stage.
I would not worry, dfinity has one of the highest commitment standards I have ever seen.
