SQRL password alternative

Steve Gibson founder of GRC talks about SQRL his password alternative. Free. Requires users to be responsible for their own security and backup their own keys. I trust this because Steve is a smart guy. BTW listen to Steve’s podcast called SecurityNow on Google Podcasts. This seems like a natural fit for 2 factor authentication.
