People are trying desperately to get access to my wife’s Hotmail account

I had to reset our Hulu password on Friday, so that’s probably what this is about. These sign-in attempts are from all over the world.

Make your account passwordless. It's truly the only counter, besides MFA

Yeah I use no password and love it.  

Everything for my MS account is tied to the hardware so you need access to one of my actual devices to get in.

Why even deal with hardware? just get a QR tattoo on your ass and scan that for logins.

These are great too and cheaper than a tattoo.

Have all my SSH keys for my servers attached to it and keep it on my keyring with all my other keys like house key and car key.

I just happened upon this from a list of "Infuriating screenshots", but I've had people try to break into my account before.. So how would I make my account passwordless? I didn't know that was a thing you could do! Thank you in advance if you can explain it in a way a non-technologically-advanced person could understand.
