Try getting your whole family to use strong ones and you'll quickly find out what's wrong with them.

My family does use strong passwords and we rotate through 32 character Wi-Fi PWs every 3 months (in addition to changing the SSID name). We're big fans of 1password

Passwords are shit, this is widely known. Password managers are a stopgap. I'm not sure whether Passkey is the solution. Maybe... I don't know enough about it.

phishing, password reuse on easily hackable websites, strong unguessable passwords require more work that most people will do and they require storage on some device just like passkeys anyway.

You can’t enter a password on a phishing site if you don’t have a password.

That’s why we’re moving to a passwordless world.

Passwords can be weak, reused, stolen, or shared.
