It is just that stack inside TLS is complicated, you have logging, request handling, etc, so encryption helps prevent issues that secrets leak inside my own codebase. I like that property of OPAQUE, too. What I do not like about it is that hashing happens on the client on low powered devices.

True. I decided OPAQUE's design does not fit what I needed, so at the end I just ended up implementing in my gitlab.com/charon/charon a simple DH key exchange to obtain a key to encrypt the password in transit to the server. OPAQUE is otherwise cool. What are you up to these days?

That was exactly my proposal to the government of Slovenia, how the should make eID cards - just YK 5 NFC with CA being the government. Instead, they get awards for this design: www.gov.si/en/news/2023... :-(
