Aah good riddance to the older approach. Its a major fail from UX perspective. The long sync key was ridiculous to type.

Have an attitude like this and you will never have security or privacy.
Those who would sacrifice privacy for convenience deserve neither.
So you're implying that 99% of humanity will have no privacy nor security?
That appears to be where we are headed.
Isn't that where we are at right now?
In the first world, we're already there thanks to google, apple, MS, etc.
Those who would sacrifice essential privacy for temporary convenience deserve neither.
Maybe a QR code option would have helped at least for the mobile devices use case?
The long sync key was ridiculous to type.

I always emailed and copy-pasted, but yeah. If you didn't have a device you could "pair" with, it was definitely not user-friendly or accessible to non-technical people.
