I think you don't get security. Security is literally spending resources to protect something. Time is a resource. Space in your brain is a resource. If I want to secure a city, I spend labor and materials to build a wall. If I want to secure my documents, I spend money on a safe. If I want to secure my emails, I spend brain space and time dealing with passwords. You can argue that the resource <--> security tradeoff is too expensive and that being insecure is a better choice, but just because something is harder doesn't mean it's less secure. People make that choice every day. When someone reuses a password, they are choosing to not use brain space and instead be less secure.

I think you don't get security... along with other things. There are good ways to spend resources and bad ways. And there is a lot more opportunity to waste resources than utilize them efficiently. Krypton is a very bad idea to start with. It's the poor man's YubiKey. My Android has both Krypton and my Google account. My phone has my identity. If I lose my phone, I lose tons more than if I just lose my YubiKey, which nobody will associate with me and give them means to get into my accounts. I cannot even remotely erase Krypton. In general, it is times worse than a YubiKey, but also times less convenient, and practical. Why would anybody use it?
