I should not have called the article irrelevant, but instead stated that it needs an update to include modern techniques, practices and risk factors.

One of his examples in 7.3 User Effort is not Free he mentions the users time in input of a 6 digit pin vs an 8 digit password. But he doesn't include the use of a password management system. If you use a password managment system you can actually save time on password input.

Then look at his section on passwords. The same thing applies. And the article is not security advice but it contains security advice from 2009 which is different today.
