Bring back the legacy sign‑in method with separate Internet Identity anchors! The new unified ID 2.0 model, linked with Google and Apple, compromises decentralization and user sovereignty. Many of us intentionally maintain separate anchors for higher cybersecurity — please restore the Legacy sign‑…

You can just use a passkey; it doesn’t have to be Google or any other one. II2.0 is compatible with all the features of 1.0.

I think the team should make a better user guide for ID2.0 users to better understand. Most ppl don’t fully understand how to use.

Hi @vavram , you’re raising a great question. Passkeys require a WebAuthn-compatible authenticator, which on most devices is provided by an OS-integrated passkey manager. Google Password Manager is indeed, the standard for Android. Similarly, the Apple standard manager is the (iCloud-based) Apple Pa…

[image] wazer: I see you have an unknown unit below, what is that from, It’s from the Huawei device that supports “device-local” passkeys without any syncing as I previously said. Thanks for trying to help, but in my case I’m fine with just moving all liquid tokens to a new II only linked to …

That is correct. I did exactly this a few months ago and had to jump through hoops to correct it. The passkey got added to Google Password Manager, despite my having my third party password manager available and its being the default. So I went to my PC and then discovered there was no immediate way…
