The conclusion of the article is unsatisfactory. After all, it is all about choices. Those who use weak passwords would continue do so whether password recovery is possible or not; those who want their data secure would find their own way to secure their password either way.

On the practical side, two factor authentication effectively means there is a lower chance of losing access to your data due to a forgotten password, as long as you take the step to secure your physical objects.
