I agree, that's why I've never used anything except KeePass.

Biometrics will take over, I definitely love FaceID on my iPhone. It just works and the fail rate is near zero on my 12 mini. FaceID that works similarly to Microsoft Authenticator for approvals should be all I need but we're not quite there yet. Effectively, given that I need FaceID to open MS Authenticator, we are already there.

Biometrics are not passwords though, biometrics are usernames. They can be forged from something as simple as a regular photograph and you cannot change them.

Biometrics are usenames and passwords in one. You may fool a poor biometric implementation, but I'd challenge anyone to try to break into my iPhone via FaceID.
