Passwords are simple to implement and easy for users to adopt

For a long time security wasn't a top priority for many companies if we are frank about this.

Today we have standardized implementations and guidelines, we have many additional options like TOTP or U2F which are pretty robust.

Nowadays if someone wants to implement good user identity/authentication they can.

Webauthn is a dumpster fire to implement compared to passwords or totp.
I specifically didn't mention WebAuth...

U2F(Yubikeys utilize it) and TOTP are both great options.

even push to login is quite common these days.

You have great options.

For chrome u2f was replaced by webauthn. Regardless, both are hard to implement compared to passwords
