Maybe passwords are a terrible way of authenticating users, and we need to move towards something else. Even two-factor authentication is an improvement. I dunno about you, but I have more passwords than I can keep track of, and the alternatives to using a password manager are much worse, such as reusing passwords. A single compromised username/password that is reused elsewhere can lead to you being hacked.

There are actual protocols that attempt to do away with most passwords, such as OpenID. The problem though becomes adoption. It is very easy to rely on the classic Web 2.0 login/password implementation

Passkeys are something a few vendors are getting behind.
