Password managers vs. going passwordless? Which do you prefer and why?

Passwords are here to stay. There is a movement to get us all off passwords eventually and use WebAuthn[0], but it hasn't gained traction yet. Ideally, I would have a Yubikey and be able to login to many different services using something I know (username/pass) and something I have (Yubikey) but we can only dream.

Completely agree with webAuthn! Absolutely love that user experience and I feel like even if its not with a YubiKey, almost all devices have biometrics in it. We should be leveraging that

I would prefer loginless and strictly two-factor-less. Exactly as Bitcoin has taught us, everything else is devil worship.

Loginless? I didnt quite understand that.
