The old solutions to phishing, education and weak 2fa, are in the way of the new and improved solutions, FIDO, passkeys. Nobody wants to admit that the old ways were lacking. They were hipped too hard. It's like when new health guidelines appear and contradict the old ones.

Me! waves hand in the air I admit the old ways were lacking. We just didn't have a lot of better alternatives at the time. SMS 2FA beats no 2FA. TOTP beats SMS 2FA. FIDO/passkeys/etc beat TOTP.

We've made a lot of progress as new methods and technologies have become available.
