You’re half right. The way companies expect people to use passwords is unsustainable. People can remember a password. No one can remember a unique, hard-to-guess password for every login they have. So they re-use passwords. Password re-use is so common and unavoidable that losing a single password is disastrous. It should not be. This is one of the promises of FIDO and passkey, not relying on a password that can be stolen, guessed and re-used.
