    But that can be said of any of the other such called factors:

    A yubikey can be stolen

    A fingerprint can be scanned and distributed

    So its not really an argument against passwords (or passkeys, or passwordless, or whatever marketing want to call them these days).

      Most people just need to fear their passwords being cracked remotely. In masses.

      If your threat model is being known, people stealing your stuff to login to your things, this is very high.

      My yubikey can be stolen but good luck guessing my PIN in the 3 to 9 tries allowed before it self destructs.
