Yeah, that article was silly. Yes, setting up a new phone is a giant annoying exercise in yak shaving, but that’s to be expected when transferring to any device.

That said, I’ve had to unlock a door with a dedicated phone app, and it’s always way too many taps even if the app hasn’t randomly logged you out because your session is a month old or because your phone restarted to store an update. (Even more if you prefer to keep Bluetooth off -which among other things saves on battery.)
