A Field Guide to Going Passwordless

Start with the accounts that hold your email and your money, because those unlock everything else. For each account, enroll a passkey before you remove the password. Keep your recovery codes in a physical place, not a screenshot. Hardware keys are worth it for exactly three accounts: primary email, password manager, and the phone number tied to your SIM. The goal is not zero passwords overnight. It is shrinking the number of passwords that actually matter from forty to four, then to none.
