What does empowering people on their own even mean in this context? I thought password managers were how you empower people, in view of the constraints of:

- passwords need to be strong, and that is inconsistent with being memorable

- passwords shouldn't be repeated

- people use multiple devices

What is the user empowering solution to those three constraints other than password managers that store in the cloud, or flat-out ending passwords in favor of biometrics or something?

Again, there is no "cloud," there is only "other peoples computers." It's time to start taking seriously ideas like "home servers."
