[question] why not woff format?

[atesin]

hi, i am new to web fonts and want to try in my personal webpage...

i am a strong believer that each of us must remember our own passwords (or write down in a notebook and store them in a vault) (at least the most important ones: email and everything related with money) don't trusting external password storages EVER,... i feel a little nervous knowing somebody else have my passwords, even until they say my passwords are "safe" with them, i am not actually aware of that... bad things can happen, programs can be hacked or even can send data by themselves, you can forget or somebody can catch your "master password" and you are totally fried, you can lose your laptop or cellphone and you are screwed.... additionally is a good mental and habit exercise.

i also agree with bill burr (the former password complications advisor that now regrets) and xkcd in that complicated passwords are counterproductive... so the only restriction i put for passwords is the lenght>15

i am trying to write a login form for a personal project (a low cost iot irrigation system for little farmers) but something that pisses me off hardly is the insistence of modern browsers in offer me store to my login credentials... i can handle for myself alone, but my system will be (hopely) used on shared devices by people not so skilled in technology... no autocomplete/store should work by default, keeping it simple for users with no additional instructions overhead

i tried many ways to workaround this, with autocomplete=off, new-password, with javascript events, etc.... finally i think the better and less tricky way to do it is with a normal text input with a "dots" font (it seems browsers detects forms with password input as "login forms")

by reading this documentation -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face#browser_compatibility i see woff2 is not so backward compatible as woff ... but ttf file itself (the most compatible i guess) weight ten times my html

as title question says: why not woff format?
