Could be we just enjoy precision more than anything else.

For lay people, maybe authn and authz are poor words. For those of us working with those words, they're a lot better than login and permission. I don't really want to call a function to get a "permission code" instead of an "authorization code".

Authorization code? Do you mean authentication?

[lelanthran]

I don't mean authentication. An authorization code is something that is handed out to already authenticated identities.

No, they probably don't. They probably know exactly what they are saying.
