I am 100% in favor of giving people the option to log in with their phone instead of a password, if they want to. If that's all the article meant, I stand corrected.

But, I got the impression that the people quoted in the article were working to eventually remove passwords as a method of authentication. That's not cool, because it requires users to have a secondary device.

I don't think my impression was entirely unreasonable, because we're already seeing it in the number of websites forcing users to set up two factor authentication. Note that many of these so-called "two-factor" solutions allow the user to reset their password using only their phone (which is what really makes SIM-swapping such a problem), which means your password is effectively optional, but a phone is required.
