Author is wrong in many ways.
All post reads like Dunning-Kruger case, he seems to know quite some stuff but also misses 3rd party cookies. Overly focuses on weak passwords completely skipping password leaks or just mentioning password reuse.
Ignoring that TOTP is actually decent interface for getting non technical and not caring at all users use random high entropy secrets. Getting regular people to keep some generated random strings won’t work.
In the end ignoring all experience of industry which is:
leaked passwords and email lists can be used in password spraying attacks where specific user is not targeted it is just opportunistic low hanging fruit automated exploitation.
Then those easy exploitable accounts in services can be used to ask connected users for loans or financial help as a scam.
