It’s likely that someone else registered that. When this was posted, domain was still not taken
That's a pretty egregious error from a company as large as Auth0/Okta.

Indeed! My initial thought was that they just misconfigured SSL, but other user here pointed out that it’s likely taken by someone else

What makes you believe that the fewest parties mathematically possible is meaningfully small?
For example, if the lower bound is hundreds then it's mostly superfluous since that information will eventually leak one way or another.
Verifiable credentials is a terrible name. We have had verifiable cryptographic credentials for more than 40 years.
What I want, is a practical protocol to prove to a third party
1. That I am a real person (e.g, has a unique credential issued by my government)
2. That I'm the only one currently "logged in" with them, with that credential.
3. Without the third party, (and with as few parties as mathematically possible) knowing which of the people with a credential issued by my government I am.
In short, to prove that I'm a real person, that I'm not running an army of sockpuppets, and yet preserve my privacy.
