These are the same companies that don't support second factors, only have their app as a second factor, or only SMS second factor. Is it too much to ask for smart card or token (yubikey) support?

All I know is the mortgage servicing company I use seems to have started ~3 month interval, that they don't say (no second factor available either). When I went to pay my internet bill, I get greeted with a message "you're passwords been reset". I'm stubborn and I was just using those sites to pay bills, so now I just don't log in to those anymore.

Insurance, and government need to catch up to the research. For sites that support them, I really like the Yubikey as a second factor.

It won’t be too long now before everyone rolls out Passkey support, which will be nice. I fully embrace the death of the password.

I like your optimism.

And the death of Firefox along with that. Oh boy what a great future.

Not sure why that would kill Firefox. Mozilla has done great work supporting passkeys and while their implementation isn't fully baked at the moment I have no reason to suspect they'll leave it incomplete.
