I don't think the latter is true. Crude oil is still a great source of fuel and even in the worst case society collapse people will still need fire.

That's effectively what U2F provides. You can "nop" the password by using a bad password that you can trivially remember, and then your U2F token is, effectively, your only authentication. I don't know what features U2F
