Ah yes, now I remember. After your post, I looked up the FAQ on folding
passkeys [1] and you can recover your passkey if you have the same email
address you did when you first created it. That was my problem - I think
I've had about 12 different emails since then, and I had no idea which one I
used, not to mention that I'm sure that email account is no longer open. So
I couldn't recover my passkey now if I lost mine.

Also.... haha! I'm sorry, it may have been April 1st that day! Stanford
isn't going to be dropping Linux clients any time soon! At least the
reaction wasn't as bad as in the other channel where I said Ubuntu was going
to drop the entire forum due to maintenance issues ;)
