This Time Magazine article: [What to Know About Worldcoin and the 
Controversy Around It | Time 
<https://time.com/6300522/worldcoin-sam-altman/>] says that "in June, 
Okta became 
<https://worldcoin.org/blog/announcements/sign-in-with-worldcoin-available-okta-auth0-marketplace> the 
first major company to allow users to sign in with Worldcoin. Worldcoin 
officially launched in July, with the project embarking on a multi-city 
sign-up tour. Altman posted a video of long lines outside Orb centers, 
and said <https://twitter.com/sama/status/1684297687708098565> that the 
project was scanning in a new user every eight seconds. "
