Most likely, if they're not still trying to figure out en passant.

He's been offline since 2018, maybe he never figured it out.

Auto-Queen should always be on especially in speed chess. In some circumstances it is best to take the auto-queen off if you need to underpromote.

On chess.com, if you need to under-promote, you can hold <ALT> while you move the pawn to promote, but on lichess it's <CTRL> key.

So, if I ever will reach such a unique position where I need to under-promote, I'm pretty sure I will never be able to remember the correct way.

I wish some FIDE or somebody else would set a single standard for everybody, so I tried to find this on FIDE chessarena, but it looks like they have not implemented this at all (only auto-queen on/off, but no option to use both).
