Hey Mike, can you support renaming secure authenticators (Two factor methods)? Github is a great example wrt UX around this specific experience: https://github.blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/key_list.png?... (from https://github.blog/2023-07-12-introducing-passwordless-auth...).

Appreciate the efforts to secure the software supply chain!

Thanks for the suggestion!

The image you showed is in regards to Passkeys, which PyPI doesn't support yet.

For TOTP, we support a single entry, and can't set a custom name.

For WebAuthn, we allow a custom label value, is that what you're looking for?

Yep! I don't see that option, but I'm probably just missing it. Thank you for the reply!

Can you change it though? When I first added my tokens I wrote their brand name to identify them, but then I realised I might buy more from that brand, so, I changed to writing a colour, reasoning that when I buy new ones even if they've got an identical colour I can add a blob of nail polish or something, so "The Red One" is clearly this one, not that one. I don't use PyPI but I found it convenient to go back and fix places where I'd written like "Yubico". It's not a big thing, but it's also hopefully not difficult to implement.
