Well yes but sometimes I still have to enter one manually. Like on a device that doesn't support password managers, like my oculus headset or Amazon fire tv.
For sure, but the fact that using a password as a password is the exceptional case is evidence to me that the paradigm is obsolete.
Another way things like linking a TV to an account happens is not with a fixed string that we in theory invent and memorize, but with a dynamically generated one-time code. For me that's obviously better than a password, in that the code will be shorter and time-limited, while the time window to misuse a password is infinite.
Am I the only one who has 10 electronic device in my house shared by 4 members and the accounts are shared in all kind of combinations among family members and devices.
I want to share passwords of some sites and not share for all sites. If I share a password, I don't want to bugged whenever they try to log in.
If you use a password manager such as 1Password (I’m sure many others support this/will support this as well), you can save the passkeys in there and allow shared access.
Most sites also support some kind of fallback method, like magic link or a password.
How will this work in all the devices? My smart TV likely doesn't support, console doesn't support it etc. Basically my point is no matter how organised I am, there will be cases where passwords are the only option.
Typically for devices like this there are off-device authentication options such as “enter the code ABCD on aka.ms/xba” or you can always fallback to magic link which still doesn’t require storing a password. Passwords won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, but it’s good to have other options in the works.
