Let’s talk about Passwords.
First off, passwords are an inherently flawed system. Like a lot of elements of technology they were only ever created as a quick fix to a small problem. In this case, making it harder for students and researchers to steal expensive computer time from other students and researchers (to play games usually). (source: https://www.wired.com/2012/01/computer-password/) This solution was then taken and expanded to cover things that need far more security than computer time. These days our entire identity can be stolen with the right password.
We are stuck in a flawed system that we have to deal with, and with larger and larger data breaches being reported every year. Like the largest data breach in history reported just last month: https://techxplore.com/news/2021-06-largest-password-breach-history-leaked.html
