Unless you are a de facto monopoly. Google can mandate WEI because they are a monopoly, other monopolies can do the opposite.
Sadly, it is hard to imagine a monopolic website that both is used day to day and does not meaningfully benefit from WEI. Banks, utilities, etc. are used too rarely to matter.
- rezonant 3y agoI expect, if given the chance, large banks will adopt WEI just like they adopted integrity APIs on iOS and Android. And they'll put up a prompt telling you to use "a secure browser".
- friendzis 3y agoYou are most likely right on the expected outcome, I would bet money on that outcome too. However, I do not think banks get any tangible benefit from WEI, since banks have strong form of mandatory 2FA on every destructive step anyway.
