Ok, so what should we use instead of passwords?

I use a blank password for everything, no one ever thinks of trying nothing.
have you tried NULL?

MFA authenticator app AND password is almost unbreakable. Unless the CIA wants to hack you, you'll be fine.
Depends on for what.

online services/anything you can autofill with pw manager:

random generated password as long as possible + MFA like hardware token (UF2)

FDE device/pw manager/anything you can't autofill:

Passphrase containing at least 8 random words (Diceware) + if possible MFA like keyfile or hardware token

passkeys are the obvious answer, but not sure
