Postgres has plenty of awesome data formats (JSON! Polygon areas!) that are rarely used, either because developers aren&#x27;t aware, or Hibernate&#x2F;ORMs don&#x27;t support it, or devs only use features that are in <i>all</i> databases, you know, in case someone decides to switch dbs.<p>Almost as you said below: Passwords are long overdue. They are lost, written down, or 1password becomes the single point of failure, keylogged, recoverable by email, prone to brute-force or more clever attacks, the user types them in the username field (my security teacher did exactly that in front of the whole class while saying it), or worse, in the group chat window that just popped up...<p>We needed Persona. We needed an open marketplace for password replacement. Bash &amp; SSH have pretty much gotten rid of passwords. I&#x27;d bet a year in prison that Mozilla has been served an NSL and ordered to shut down the project.
