Decided to look at improving password authentication. The whole set up is confusing not helped by the fact I've got 1 Microsoft account, 2 Google accounts, 4 email addresses and 3 in-total Passkeys. I have a notebook full of username/passwords and Chrome has Google Password Manager showing dozens of saved passwords.
Additionally I use Chrome and Edge so I can be signed into 2 different accounts simultaneously.
Looking at various Youtube, there's talk of Authenticators by Google and Microsoft and others. It's abit unclear how these fit into the scheme of things. Do they make things easier. Are they necessary?
Other talk about using SMS, email etc as part of the 2 step process. Commentator suggested email to be slow while SMS wasn't totally secure.
Does a Passkey replace both these methods?
There must be countless people doing nothing about improving security. This thread might help quite a few.
Thanks for any thoughts on how to simplify, how to set up or just to get a better understanding.
