I don't have a "legal name". Sounds like some sovcit bullshit. I go by several names, none of which is canonical. Maybe other countries formalize this idea, but the countries where I am a citizen/resident do not.

I love that email OTP is good enough for this, but apparently not for anything else, where I'll need an approved verified secure attested super official app.
