Tbh I don't trust passwords to keep my accounts save, it's 2FA all the way.

Passwords have this nasty tendency to get leaked, one of my older e-mail accounts is listed in 12 different breaches on haveibeenpwned.com

And while the ideal is not to reuse passwords, keeping that practice up with the number of accounts that are nowadays required with a somewhat digital lifestyle is kind of impossible, short of using a password manager.

But then you are locked into a password manager and gotta hope it works on all the devices you gonna need your passwords on or else you will be stuck manually putting in long and complex passwords.



This!! Passwords are old and obsolete. We should have stopped using them years ago


It’s worth noting that MFA solves credential sprays but not targeted phishing
