Patiently waiting for the government(s) to step in and start providing a modern ID service - a driver license with a built in private key, a fingerprint unlock, and a PIN.
The combination of the three can still be defeated by someone following you, stealing the card, lifting fingerprint from a glass, and spying the PIN, but that’s a lot of trouble to go through and online identity fraud will become extinct.

- DenisM 4y agoWhat practical problem do you envision with this setup?
