Joking aside, I don't see the point of this. It guards against exactly one attack (your password manager somehow revealing all your passwords) which is unlikely, but not against a whole lot of other (slightly more generic malware, phishing, ...) whilst making logging in harder (there's now a manual process).
If you're willing to go such lengths, enable 2FA on more accounts (which the articles mentions, points for that) or get a physical token for your password manager.
Not even in this case, the performance and energy numbers they got for CoreMark on the M1 are off by an order of magnitude
And this questionable convenience uses finite resources on earth, both carbon emission and ore. It's hard to scale back on what we use, and I wouldn't go back to a 17" monitor for coding. But maybe we could at least try to avoid creating new stuff that's accelerating our demise?
Why can't online payments use a use two-factor authentication by default?
