   Why Passkeys should be used wherever financial transactions or sensitive   
   information are concerned.  Or at least TFA.   
      
   And passwords need to be strong - computer generated is always best.   
      
   Otherwise password access should have time outs.   
      
   1st time wrong: no delay   
   2nd time wrong: 1 s delay   
   3rt time wrong: 2 s delay   
   4th time wrong: 4 s   
   5               8 s   
      
   10              4 hour delay, then reset to 0 delay.   
      
   Brute force login attacks would simply not work.
