Maybe that is why so many things live in Excel instead of a proper database. Security at the expense of convenience does come at the expense of security, after all.

Not sure why passwords still exist conceptually. I was hoping we'd move past this annoyance, but instead security has become even more annoying. And all that security with two factor hoops to jump through only for someone to steal your session cookie.

What would passwords move past too? A device people lose? Some specifications everyone argues about and implements differently. Just look at SAML and everyone using slightly different terminology.

Security is more annoying because the attacks are better than ever.
