Now that is propaganda.

There is no way that in reality visual basic is surging up the charts and more popular than most other languages, instead I would guess they are attributing some .Net results to VB instead of C#.
for comparison, this is the google trends chart of visual basic: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=visual%2...
if I sell 100 tokens for a dollar then convince someone to buy 1 token for 10 dollars, if I run off with the money I've not run off with $1000 even if it feels like it for the people left with tokens.
That is what this article is about, and methods to deal with that.
2. A fingerprint hash isn't a cryptographic hash because you need to be able to match to nearby matches. A small variation in input needs to have a small variation in the hash so a distance function can be applied.
Those are terrible properties for a password.
edit: The original headline before being changed, "Web standard brings password-free sign-ins to virtually any site", and contained a paragraph espousing fingerprints in place of passwords.
How does cascading make sense at all if lower-down rules don't supersede higher rules?
My multiset was:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j, abc, def, asd, asds, 3g46stb6vy6vsyosyvosfsdfsdsah, oooooooooooooooo
Then trying oooooooooooooooo a second time, the bloom filter correctly says it might be in the set. The cuckoo filter says it is not.I assume this is just a javascript bug in implementation, because previously the filter said it might be in the set, actually adding it to the set then gave a false negative when trying it again.
Obviously this would need a white-list (and a pair<from,to> whitelist, not just "this domain is OK list) to allow SSO scenarios.

Given this, it seems reasonable to restrict input below a length where the password will become (effectively) truncated by blowfish.
That length is also well above 10 characters however.
