This increase is fueled by Cybercrime-as-a-Service, particularly Phishing-as-a-Service, which attackers can access for as little as $200 monthly.

Which is why both Google and Microsoft have been urging all users to adopt the far more secure passkey alternative for some months now.
Passkeys are easy to create and use, generated automatically to eliminate human error and memory issues. They are inherently strong, resistant to phishing and social engineering, and completely private, as the private key never leaves your device.
