When I migrated from memorized passwords (all of them shared the same mnemonic — terrible security) to Bitwarden as my password manager, I came up with a long complex master password. I proceeded to forget it and literally sat down for two hours trying to remember, shitting my pants that I might have just lost everything. Luckily I finally remembered and will never forget now (unless I get a serious head injury).

Ugh. I know that feeling. Passwords are a pain. I like what the FIDO alliance is doing.

What's FIDO alliance doing?

Passwordless authentication. FIDO2 uses a variety of methods, including biometrics, public key cryptography, and secure elements, to create a secure and user friendly authentication experience instead of using passwords.

Oh yeah, like Yubikey. Fido was on the ledger wallet, right?

i didn't know that, but looked it up, yes Ledger uses FIDO's U2F.
