>Passwords in the traditional sense of "secret you have memorized" have never really worked well and we should get rid of them.
No, we shouldn't. Passwords, as they are allow me to use whatever means I choose to remember the key. I can memorize the password, I can use a password manager or I can even derive the password based on some rules I've made up. The choice is mine. A passwordless future is almost certainly going to remove that choice from me.
If you told me that in 30 years you need to insert your national ID card into your computer to log in or to browse the web, I would believe you. And I would much rather have broken things instead of that kind of dystopic future.
