What a nothing-burger article. Just sounds like more lock-in with Google, why is this interesting?

  "Without passwords" ... by importing your passwords to google! haha

    This caught my eye as well! I was expecting something about authenticating without passwords only to discover a post about...Google's password manager.

  Agreed. This article can be compressed to: * Google is marginally increasing security by turning on 2FA automatically for some accounts * Google's password manager has a new "import" feature Based on the title, I expected maybe some radical new developments in WebAuthn or similar password-replacement technology, not incremental improvements to Google's products that benefit only Google users.

  > why is this interesting? Because people should know what Google is actually doing.

    Which seems to be next to nothing.

      Sure but it's better to be aware before this nothing has a chance becoming forced standard
