One thing that is really holding back a “passwordless” future is that no large companies are offering a password manager. No one does, or really should, trust the tiny companies that do password managers today. If say LastPass had a major breach, they could just fold the company and it wouldn’t be an enormous loss, compare to a Google that can’t fold. In fact, it might be more profitable for LastPass to sell all the passwords and credit cards it has access to then continue to earn $2 a year from a handful of people. People intuit this and are very hesitant to trust all their passwords to LastPass or OnePass or whatever. The browser password managers aren’t full featured enough. They don’t remember history well, it’s hard to add and edit entries, and it’s especially hard to use them outside that browser or on sites where the prompts don’t trigger right (still very common.)
