Hopefully this helps!

JFC, this should have been the first sentence in that blog.
DEFINE ACRONYMS AT THE FIRST USE.

Two WEAK locks may be LESS pointless than one WEAK lock, but they're still pointless. Go read https://www.csoonline.com/article/4147134.

U2F has been superseded by FIDO2 (hardware keys in WebAuthn mode) and Passkeys (example in Dutch: https://todon.nl/@ErikvanStraten/116285192238090438).

Both WebAuthn methods have advantages and disadvantages.

If you don't like them, use a trustworthy passwordmanager and:

ā€¢ Let it create a unique, random, as long as possible, pw per account

ā€¢ Make backups of the pw mngr database

ā€¢ Device compromise means "game over"

ā€¢ Use Autofill (easy in Android and iOS/iPadOS)

ā€¢ If Autofill does not automatically retrieve your credentials, it probably is a fake (phishing) website. Do read https://www.troyhunt.com/a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mailchimp-mailing-list/

Please stop misinforming people.

I have an account with a big bank that won't allow me to use my preferred 2FA method, while another account I have with a small town bank will let me 2FA with whatever more secure method I want. Get with it people.
