See my comments elsewhere in this thread. I’d argue that ‘having unique passwords for every site’ is much more important than 2FA when it comes to the consequences of a site’s database being compromised. For instance, I’ll happily give you my password to ‘My Vodafone’. It’s nXewr7Vq4f)s9>ky. It really is. I don’t give a shit if their database is compromised, it doesn’t affect the rest of my life. (I haven’t been a customer in about a decade. The login no longer works. You get the point.) 2FA adds nothing to this scenario. I should assume that an attacker who has compromised the site’s database has also compromised their OTP systems. |

Bad guys who steal my WebAuthn credentials for foo.example don't learn how to sign in as me on any site at all, even on foo.example. If they break into another site. bar.example and steal all their WebAuthn credentials too, they can't even correlate them to figure out who has sign-ins on both sites.
