I'll generally ignore the internet froth in a given week as much as possible, but when Her Majesty's Government starts repeating misunderstandings about TLS 1.3 it is necessary to write something, if only to have a pointer ready for when people start citing it as evidence. The first misunderstanding in the piece is the claim that it's possible for man-in-the-middle proxies to selectively proxy TLS 1.2 connections, but not TLS 1.3 connections because the latter encrypts certificates.

Introduction. Predictions of, and calls for, the end of passwords have been ringing through the press for many years now. The first instance of this that Google can find is from Bill Gates in 2004 , although I suspect it wasn’t the first.
