Thanks. Like you said, this is safer, even if a password remains somewhere in the chain, like a master password for your computer. An advantage is that websites are not storing passwords (hashed or otherwise, because it's hard to do well).
I use a Yubikey, so there's no password for me (just a PIN that wipes the key if it's entered incorrectly a few times). You can also use a fingerprint scanner, face ID, etc.
