Yet another report on the drive to destroy security by removing passwords
How naïve security professionals can be? An answer is found in this report — “Passwords begone: GitHub will ban them next year for authenticatingGit operations” https://www.theregister.com/2020/12/17/github_bans_passwords/

Aren’t they actually offering a ‘solution’ that can be compared to the ATM that rejects PIN (numbers-only password) and dispenses cash upon the presentation of only a bank/credit card?

Ref: “Bizarre Theory of Password-lessAuthentication”

The theory is “A ground force can be easily defeated by air attack. Then, removing the ground force from our defense will make our defense securer”. Replace ‘ground force’ with ‘password’, ‘air attack’ with ‘password theft’ and ‘defense’ with ‘cybersecurity’ and we realize that this is what happens when ‘insufficient’ is mixed up with ‘harmful’ in cyberspace
