I didn't have one, I just disliked the idea of having all that's needed for auth in a single device which can be lost.
Thanks for the civil discussion. While my views haven't changed I have learned a lot about possible objections from informed people.
Let's hope this new auth standard is implemented responsibly by all the major parties and that weak passwords and phishing become relics of the past.
Hope is all we can have. Sadly time and time again there were companies who thought the were smarter than others and altered established protocols. Be it Telegram or OAuth with Facebook. But let us hope.
