Every vendor on earth is selling passwordless. Silas Wray argues it does not remove the weak point at all — it moves it, from the login you spent a decade hardening to the password-reset desk that nobody hardened at all. Then he accuses Daniel of selling the same thing he is criticising.
Daniel mostly agrees with him, gets angry at his own industry, and tells the story of a twelve-hour outage he caused himself.
