Not sure why that is so dumb, presumably if one device gets compromised other linked ones are also compromised but if one device gets compromised now it is still compromised.
- ComodoHacker 7y agoBecause if one device gets compromised, you want to regain control of your identity and deny access from compromised device. Also you want to prevent the hacker from doing the same. We have not yet invented a way to do it without central authority, which is also acceptable in terms of usability.
- ailideex 7y agoSo say I use this on my phone, and someone steals my phone, my "identity" is compromised anyway. I have to create a new Identity anyway. User experience of sending everything to someone N times over is not acceptable either. If I want to talk to someone I don't want to have to send a message to each of their devices.
