Totally agree on the compromised credential check, hence itβ€˜s also part of my general password policy recommendations [0].

I also agree that IdPs and SSO is commodity nowadays (to speak in Wardley-terms). However, some orgs still have vastly heterogeneous authentication systems. In these situations it might be financially beneficial first do unify and then switch to an off-the-shelf service provider later. OIDC makes it possible.

Lots of uncritical media coverage out their and to be fair, I am also quite hyped about killing passwords. Nevertheless there is certain aspects that I believe did not get enough attention yet, the biggest potentially being the switch from knowledge to possession factors.. not sure whether everyone is aware of the potential implications.
