Getting rid of passwords

For the last twenty years it has been the last year for passwords. I have seen many stories on Slashdot. Lately i have been getting tired of typing passwords all the time for computers in my home lab. I bought a fingerprint reader and a FIDO2 security key. The fingerprint reader was good for logging in to Windows. I only have to put my finger on the reader and i get logged in. I cant get it to work with any website. I got the security key to work with Google account. It is more 2FA than no password. I created a Windows domain for my computers, but i have lots of trouble getting the Linux computers to accept domain users. Some computers are good. Getting Linux to accept users from the domain is easy. The hard part is to get them to accept users without asking for a password. I want Single Sign On. We will always use passwords. They are actually great.
