“You have to bother about phishing because you continue to rely on passwords. Should the password be removed from digital identity altogether, there would be no worry about phishing altogether”.

“Where passwords have disappeared, phishing of passwords has disappeared”

If we agree to these ‘password-less’ arguments, we would have to agree to the following views as well.

“Remove a lock/key system from our houses and we will be freed from the worry about loss and theft of the keys.”

“Remove the army from our defense system and we will not have to see our army beaten”.

Would you?
