Apple, Microsoft and Google together to improve how you login to sites without password. And they will store your "secret" so that you don't need to type it. And you'll be able to recover from any device that is already authenticated.
At the same time, every week we see a "Tell HN: how I lost all access to my email/site/account because of {reason}", where {reason} is some stupid thing that the AI flagged.
Seems that we'll able to lose access to the whole digital world if just one company makes some mistake. Yes, they will.
