    I think this is due to the data residency requirements in UAE. I'm working with a client in the health space and the government requirements requires me to store data only in UAE! Tried with AWS but they were not allowing any new instances and I had to go with Azure.

      Hi, I'm from the future. You might want to consider storing the data somewhere besides an Azure datacenter in the UAE.

        I'm from the past and I concur.

          I'm waiting for a messenger from the future coming back to tell people that passkeys are stupid, and having passwords on post-it notes attached to the monitor was never a real problem, it's just the security industry that got threat modeling backwards for couple decades...

            Don't worry. After the great captcha war of 2029 there was an awakening and things got better for a while (until the Flock smart glasses incident...)
