Is this about Pete Hegseth?

Either. When you add *any* account via the "manage accounts" settings panel, which you have to do to add, for instance, a Gmail account, it does not let you use a passkey in 1password.

Imagine overdosing on your farts and posting this without realizing that your own words make you a pimp at best, if not a slaver.

Of all the things I've ever posted in my life, this might actually be the least likely to make an employer upset at me.

You can continue to dwell in ignorance and presume things about people you don't know. Or you could be curious and find out. The choice is yours.

Oh, but she did.

First of all it's not "my" organization.

Second of all, we didn't, In fact, the website says this pretty clearly,

You're arguing against a position that was never taken.

To the contrary, I even said this, many times over.

If you're going to be mad at someone, you should at least bother to familiarize yourself with why you're mad (instead of being mad because someone told you to be), and figure out whether it's accurate.

It is unsurprising that you are the type of person to just say things without bothering to know if they're correct.

In fact, I've said the exact opposite.

Your bad.

As if on cue, the cousin of this, "I replied to you, and am now aggravated that you engaged with me."

It's ok to be weird. But this is not the good kind of weird.
