  Would be great if companies could also get into the correct mindset. In Germany we have an electronic ID for more than ten years now, and everyone could prove his/her identity even over the internet. But there are very few companies supporting this, even now as more than 60% of all IDs have this functionality available (in the first years it was optional). The companies STILL prefer that I wave my ID to a person on a videocall, then they read the ID and accept it. What an anachronistic and very analogue way. And this needs manpower and availability of it (so no opening accounts in the middle of the night).
