Not really. People that need this feature already have it (in a way) - in a given scope (government agencies, universities, some corporations & private companies etc). 99.999% of people simply don't need that level of security. How currently things work is fine balance between UX and security, minimal friction.
- southerntofu 4y agoAnd yet millions of people find themselves completely lost when they loose access to their personal account, usually because their mobile phone broke down or was lost/stolen. I am a witness of *MANY* such situations every year in my under-populated countryside neighborhood and i wouldn't be surprised if over the past 5 years 30-50% (made-up numbers) of the local population had faced major administrative hurdles due to being unable to have an actual human on the phone or at the booth to answer a simple password reset request.
