I mean SSNs are the worst possible authentication mechanism and yet we still have to freak out every time they're leaked. Security practices are so utterly backwards everywhere that it's quite apparent no one powerful is incentivised to care even a little bit
what's the practical alternative?
It’s actually worse than that - AI powered phishing sites will also copy your device profile and mouse, gesture and keyboard signature and use this to get past common anti-fraud techniques like device fingerprinting and behavioural biometrics.
What does AI have to do with capturing inputs ?
Hey, just going to say what I've been telling folks IRL, if you are reading this, and your parents and family members aren't tech savvy, you need to set them up with two factor authentication now. Because you know how to do that, and it's so much easier than helping them when they get hacked.
Even then, that won't help scams and fraud that just trick you into sending money, or direct you to install malware.

I mean, the mere existence of said biometrics imply that they're inferrable and thus bad security, like basically all biometrics
But true randomness is not useful for determining if you are who you say you are.

I expect that with AI, we'll be less able to rely on the heuristic of bad grammar to easily detect phishing. That one flaw gave the phishers away so often, and made it so obvious ...
