The field is optional because appservice users may not -have a real device associated with them. Non-appservice users should always have a device -associated with them. - -Access tokens are already associated with at most 1 device, and devices are associated with -exactly 1 access token. Because of this, we do not need to worry about multiple devices -causing problems. For more information, see -https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.4.0.html#relationship-between-access-tokens-and-devices - -*Note*: Pantalaimon would likely require a `device_id` be returned and error requests -otherwise. This should be considered expected behaviour by Pantalaimon in the MSC author's -opinion. - - -## Tradeoffs - -We could introduce a `/device/whoami` endpoint, however that is a less superior option. Most -calls to `/device/whoami` would additionally need to call `/account/whoami` to determine the -user ID of the account. We had might as well bundle the two pieces of information into the -same request.
