Many of these sites are quite obscure.

But mainly if you are responsible for a system and you're willing to do work to improve security your first focus should be "implement WebAuthn so my users can stop worrying about passwords entirely" not "I wonder if more complicated password handling would help somehow?"

Seems like a good idea, instead of every password manager trying to re-implement the same kind of edge cases. One day I hope we can just "muss change" password because sites follow a common theme like https://wicg.github.io/change-password-url/index.html - but maybe we have a better strategy than passwords until then.
