I've long been of the opinion that passwords on their own aren't fit for purpose.

2FA has to be the way, surely? Most people are going to be a lot more careful with their phone than with a post-it note.

2FA generally still requires a password though.. It's just adding a second thing for OPs manager to bitch about.

It does, but it's still better than knowing your customer database is just "qwerty123!" away from being accessed by anybody who guesses it, or gets it from a basic phishing email.
