I agree partially. Passwords are posing an indirect security issue. But in my opinion this is more due to the handling of those by humans.
So many different places where you can login, you need 20+ passwords. These should all be very long so that they are deemed secure enough.
Remembering this is a chore leading to one of two things
- the user tends to create short passwords or mneonics that only change a few letters/numbers per password
- the user will use a password manager, completely giving up control in case of a disastrous failure (e.g. data deletion) and having potentially finicky setups.
There should be better options for the broad usership than passwords, but password managers are imho a good solution for today.
