OpenID and OAuth really did a lot, but there's just nothing called "don't use passwords." Fingerprint readers suck. Anything biometric that doesn't suck costs too much, and 99% of people don't have them. A good KDF is not bad in comparison to a centralized authentication server considering other factors.

Someone, somewhere will be storing user passwords/digests for the foreseeable future. And they will do it incorrectly.
