See AllYour next laptop could be a bad buy if you ignore this RAM spec
In what world is this a consistent statement:
"Most people offer this factor and regret it later. LPDDR5 is usually soldered to the motherboard. So, you can upgrade or replace the memory down the line. What you buy is all that you will ever have."
Shouldn't "can" be "cannot"? And should "offer" be "ignore"? Has editorial review gone the way of the dodo? What about the writer's own review? Or is this perhaps really AI slop?
Passwords are officially obsolete — here’s why you should make the jump today
The author later acknowledged how password managers would facilitate being able to do just that (similar to the seemingly handcrafted approach you prefer), so it was indeed a needlessly hyperbolic statement he made.
To your final point, though, there seems no financial motivation behind his explanation here of passkeys. He's just leading folks to see the new horizon on the other side of password mountain.
Some will seek that passage, while others will happily "remain in the land of their forebears". Each camp need not judge the other, though sadly it seems human nature nature to fall into doing that.
I’m ditching Google Authenticator for this gorgeous open-source alternative
While the author suggests that Google auth stores accounts alphabetically, I find instead (on android) that new ones are always added to bottom... and *I* must manually reorder them, which sucks. Hope this one solves that (I'd prefer defaulting to alpha order with freedom to pin some to top).
Also, Google auth doesn't let me EDIT the name of the account once added, which sometimes is very important (I've had some that picked a number/code for their name, grr). Again, hoping this one lifts that limit.
I tried but could not find any docs or user guide to affirm the above, so I won't know until I try it. Wanted to offer these while reading of it for the first time here.
Also, some may be interested to know that the same team (and site) offers a password manager alternative (app and extension), free for 200 passwords, $10/yr otherwise. More at 2fas.com/pass.

It would seem that's a choice by the article author, not the tool's fixed font. See any other screenshots of it, whether at the site (2fas.com/auth/) or play store/iTunes.
