I applaud sites/services who try to go "Passwordless" for security reasons but PLEASE, I'm begging y'all: Stop going passwordless with "We'll email/text you a sign-in confirmation every time you sign in". This adds a bunch of useless friction to an already-solved problem! Either let my password manager handle my business, or implement passkeys. I don't want to have to swap apps, copy-paste (or remember random digits), swap back, type things in, and hit buttons to complete my login.

One of the most useful German nouns is the Swiss[ᵈᵘᵇⁱᵒᵘˢ][ᵈⁱˢᶜᵘˢˢ] coinage "Verschlimmbesserung", which is a portmanteau of Verschlimmerung (deterioration) and Verbesserung (improvement) and describes the act of making something worse in an attempt to make it better.
