I do not hate passwords but those who hate them and push with such excuse the mandatory use of smartphones.

I do HATE those who state a crappy Android/iOS OTP app is safer than an offline hardware token just because thanks to their app they also ask for permission for extra stuff like accessing phone location history, contacts etc all with plausible excuses (that's happen in most EU countries with banks crapplications) and so on.

ANYTHING tied to closed-source connected platforms can't be secure. That's is.
