This has the energy of "Remove all DEI initiatives because we have solved workplace discrimination."

> This kind of advice is well-intentioned but misleading. It consumes the limited time people have to protect themselves and diverts attention from actions that truly reduce the likelihood and impact of real compromises.

I dislike any methodology that claims its intent is to talk down to people for whatever declared reasoning. People are capable, and should be helped to make decisions based on all available information.

> Regularly change passwords: Frequent password changes were once common advice, but there is no evidence it reduces crime, and it often leads to weaker passwords and reuse across accounts.

When I worked as a security professional the breaches were nearly always from someone's password getting leaked in a separate public breach. If those individuals had changed that password the in house breach would have been avoided.

> Use a password manager

Sage advice.
