I would like to understand how this new system handles the following issues: 1. Sharing accounts. If I want to share a subscription to the Economist with my wife, say, I give her the username/password. Does the Apple/Google/MS alternative support multiple authorised identities? 2. Single point of compromise -- if the identity system or the phone is compromised, everything is compromised. 3. What if the biometric doesn't work, or the biometric sensing system doesn't work. Say my phone camera has just stopped working (which it coincidentally has, as I write this) ... does it freeze me out?

Does the Apple/Google/MS alternative support multiple authorised identities? Each registration and subscription is for the personal use of the Registered User or subscriber only. You may not share your log-in details or password with any other person. You may not share or transfer your subscription. https://www.economistgroup.com/terms-of-use https://www.economistgroup.com/terms-of-use 2. Most people already have a single point of compromise in their primary inbox, password manager, or browser storage. This doesn't solve the single point of compromise problem, and I'm not sure that any easy-to-use system could. 3. If the camera fails to recognise me currently when I use Apple Wallet, I am invited to enter a passcode. I'm not sure if this same fallback would be implemented, but I do see a photo which indicates that you can use an external security key instead of biometrics.
