Impressive triumvirate, but that’s never going to work. The very fact that it relies on vendor-specific authentication methods like Touch ID is its death sentence. Also, not everybody has (or wants) to use their mobile phones to log into their accounts — especially for servers, where it is a security risk to connect them to mobile devices in any kind of way.

Speaking of servers, they have solved this problem 20 years ago; it’s called SSH keys.

Why on earth has none of these behemoths ever thought of this on desktops? They can just put the SSH key on removable media like a USB flash drive, and given the small space requirement, you can easily fit hundreds of them on a cheap stick.

Instead we have: “QR codes, then FaceID (or Hello), and finally OAuth”!

All PC users know the KISS principle by instinct. They aren’t going to use that new solution. Into the trash can it goes, thrown in there by the very execs who created it.

PS.

A month ago, my dad asked me to help him transfer all his passwords from his iPhone to his new Android phone. They were all in the iPhone’s native password vault.

The only way I could do that was by copying each any every password by hand. It took several hours to complete.

Sounds like something they should work on first before embarking on bold password-killing initiatives.
