One place where this has saved me is trying to type in my VRChat password, on a standalone Quest 3 headset. The tedium of trying to type in a password in VR with a virtual keyboard, while having the headset slid up onto my forehead juuuust enough so I can see my phone with my password manager on it, is by far the worst modern login process I've ever experienced. Just having pronounceable syllables is enough to speed that process up significantly.

oh gosh... you just reminded me... it's even worse if you are wearing glasses under the vr set. You try to lift up vr and that lifts glasses into your forehead and you can't see anything and it hurts.

OH yeah I can imagine. Now you have your glasses about to smush into your eyes, your vision is blurry, the quest is probably making some "about to sleep" sound now because you're trying to pull your glasses away, which the headset interprets as it being removed and of course... will decide to cull the app you were in so you can start the godforesaken process all over again.

These devices are where a physical keys like yubikeys made the most sense. You set one to quickly access services. And you can then quickly invalidate one that is lost. Better than passkeys that try to get me to use a big phone for that purpose.

The mobile app used to have a feature to let you type from your phone but Meta removed that because fuck you
