How is it a retcon? The use of giga- as a prefix for 10^9^ has been in use as part of the metric system since 1960. I don’t think anyone in the fledgeling computer industry was talking about giga- or mega- anything at that time. The use of mega- as a prefix for 10^6^ has been in use since 1873, over 60 years before Claude Shannon even came up with the concept of a digital computer.

if anything, the use of mega- and giga- to mean 1024 is a retcon over previous usage.

No - Buddy. It is secured for this one specific device that I have biometric authentication for. What about my computer? What about my other computer that isn't on the same operating system?

Then use a Yubikey.
