@clickhere@mastodon.ie there are login systems that do not rely on passwords that do not involve biometrics, but if the government is all about pushing biometrics, then that's what people are going to sell. (Login tokens such as Yubikey are an example of a "passwordless" system; they typically use a PIN plus a physical device. A PIN is, from some angle, a password, but is somehow not considered one in this context.)

    @waider@mastodon.ie Oh god, that could well be what's happened here - it was an IT person, but not one of the security team. Maybe some marketer has done their work well. 😩
