Password Should Stay and Should be Removed?
I would like to take up this somewhat puzzling report - “Google advises passwords are good, spear phishing is bad, and free clouds get attacked” https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/25/google_cybersecurity_action_team_threat_horizons/
It reads “Google advises passwords are good, spear phishing is bad, and free clouds get attacked” and “Crims got in because, in 48 per cent of cases, operators didn't have a password, had a weak password, or didn't bother authenticating APIs.”
How come such a remark could be uttered by the people who have been touting the ‘password-less authentication’?
Anyway, the consequence of removing the password from identity security is made clear in this post – “Remove the army and we will have a stronger national defense”

Google never did and definitely hasn't changed its ways now about privacy and cybersecurity. I wouldn't believe anything it says about this topic. Also, it has vested interests when it comes to the cloud. In my experience, free cloud providers are as safe as paid ones. Here's an idea: learn about this topic more instead of trusting what Google and other self-proclaimed experts say about it.
