So why bother with World Password Day when we're soon going to have a great big World Password Bonfire.
We suspect, though we'd love to be wrong, that we'll take delivery of our Permanent Password Replacement Device at the same time that we get the personal jetpacks, the flying cars and the self-ironing shirts that everyone was promised back in the day.
That's why we still support the idea of World Password Day here on Naked Security, because our passwordless future is still largely in the future.
You might be tricked by a website name containing the digit one instead of the letter I, or the digit four instead of A, but a password manager won't, so you're much less likely to put your real password into a fake website by mistake.
As we said above, even though lots of companies claim to be working on technologies to replace passwords completely, we think that passwords will be an unavoidable and necessary part of our everyday digital life for many years yet.
Remember, not just on World Password Day, but every day: If in doubt, don't give it out!
