Obvious solution

Why didn't you just ask Copilot to fix it? Surely for $60B it can do that.

Don't put your tackle on someone else's chopping block.

I'd love to, but all the ones all the monkeys are trained to use won't sell them to me anymore without a cloud subscription to make things less reliable with fewer updates as they don't need to innovate a new feature to upsell me to the next iteration...

But they do... As long as your passkey was generated by their app, because password managers are evil and Microsoft don't want users using them or something.

Just because it's hackneyed doesn't mean it's not applicable still.

How's that cloud stuff working out for you then?
