  "But that solution is quite complex hindering its adoption." Generally inventions solve problems by making them simpler, for this to be a valuable invention it would need to be simpler and less hackable to use than log-in with google/FB/github. I can still recover my google account if I forget my password, and don't have a reset setup. What aspect of distributed identity/ self-sovereing identity do customers care about? how does blockchain simplify this for them?

  Unfortunately one of the requirements of a good identity system is that it should keep personal data secret from parties who do not need it. This means that blockchains on their own aren't a good fit, since by design they share all information with all parties. Having said that, BrightID uses a blockchain and seems like an idea worth exploring. https://www.brightid.org/whitepaper https://www.brightid.org/whitepaper
