The Death of Passwords

I have hundreds of passwords.

This may lead you to suggest that, in fact, passwords are not dead, but I want to walk you through the average experience of using and entering a password for me.

In an ideal world, the password I have chosen, which has been randomly generated, automatically populates from my password software, or alternatively saved in iCloud keychain. When this works, it’s seamless — passwords populate as I turn my hideous gaze toward the iPhone, and away I go.
