Just. Use. A. Fucking. Password. Manager.
It isn't hard. People act like getting users to remember one password isn't how it's done already anyway. At least TFAing a password manager is way fucking easier than hoping every service they log into with "password123" has it's own TFA. And since nearly every site uses shit TFA like a text or email message, it's even better since they can use a Yubikey very easily instead.
Passkeys are a solution looking for a problem that hasn't been solved already, and doing it badly.
I have a sub to dashlane that came with ten additional subs and despite trying to literally give them away to family and friends and you'd think I was trying to pull teeth.
