IP fingerprinting is unhelpful - the user experience for mobile devices becomes terrible. Any other client fingerprinting is easily duplicated.

      What is this protocol called and who supports it?

        The absence of support for a stronger solution is an argument for improving support for a stronger solution, not an argument against criticising the existing solution.

          Was genuinely serious AFAIK iOS provides hardware keys for fingerprinting

  Seems like this could be bearable (badum-bum-psh) if it was only enforced during a token refresh (as opposed to every request), even on mobile.
