I have a hypothesis that the focus on “passwords” is off-putting to a broader audience, and a copy change to “logins” may help. It’s my opinion at this point, and I agree with Dolske that some data to validate this notion would be wise before committing. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward, there are other types of login credentials we might manage in the future (<a href="https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/credentialmanagement/">https://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/credentialmanagement/</a>).

"password", and I don't think "but what about my username?" is a<br>
question that puzzles anyone in practice.<br>
