Issue Description

"Password Best Practices" article has typo and missing modern security advice

URL of the Page with the Issue

https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/password-best-practices/

Section of Page with the issue

  1. "Other security recommendations" section
  2. Overall article

Why is this a problem?

  1. Typo: "acess" should be "access" in the
    Two Factor Authentication section.

  2. Article is missing important modern security advice:

    • No mention of passkeys (now supported by WordPress)
    • No mention of hardware security keys (e.g. YubiKey)
    • Password manager link points to Wikipedia which
      is not a reliable or helpful resource

Suggested Fix

  1. Fix typo: change "acess" to "access"

  2. Add a section about passkeys and hardware security
    keys as modern alternatives to passwords.

  3. Replace Wikipedia link with a more reliable resource
    like https://www.nist.gov or a dedicated password
    manager comparison site.
