Hilarious example to use, because that literally is an effort that’s underway.

Thousands of people get scammed and have their lives ruined every year, so deprecating passwords is absolutely the right move

Yeah, no. The actual solution is

1. Stop requiring computers/phones for everything. Your 91 year old grandma isn't going to make her way through your super cool very intuitive 2FA magic link email confirmation system, and I don't WANT to make my way through your super cool very intuitive 2FA magic link email confirmation system.

2. teach the people who need to use computers, how to use them.

  • I never said anything about 2FA magic links? We can do much, much better via things like FaceID integrated passkeys, and probably further steps from there.

    Ah yes, that sounds straight forward. Let us know when you’ve deployed that to prod.
