  Just my disdain for the idea that passwords will ever go away 😹

    Why? Passwords are already used a lot less that they would need to be if we didn’t have things like OAuth tokens, the FIDO2 protocol for 2FA devices, biometrics, etc.

      I think this makes sense for many low impact scenarios, but there’s always going to be a set of services that I dont want to trust to the same provider. For me its my bank, even though passwords have plenty of flaws, and i am trusting my phone to protect tap pay tokens, i would never link my bank login to my google account so I use a memorized password.

      of course this is tinfoil hat territory because a threat to my passcodes would probably involve breaking the security systems on android.

        I think passcodes currently get consolidated with an entity like Google, but I’ve read Bitwarden is adding support for them. It definitely won’t be an issue long term.
