There's a more-recent post on the same blog that gets into the details of how they're using the WebAuthn PRF extension to store key material, but for platforms and browsers that don't yet support the extension, you'll ne

Zoom does a pretty good job of hiding the link to join a meeting with your browser, only showing it (quickly) after you download their installer, and more often after a delay of several seconds. I poked around briefly and couldn’t find any

Sorry, I was referring to the previous commenter's list of suburbs, like Pentagon City, Clarendon, Rosslyn, Tysons, Reston, Herndon, etc. in that corridor out to Dulles. (Downtown) Alexandria is lovely. Manassas and Fredericksburg (VA)
