After using Airbnb for quite a long time, I’ve gone back to hotels precisely because of this. Holding up my passport next to my face for 10 seconds at a hotel is sufficient to get me checked in, while my Airbnb hosts never bothered to check my ID. Now a photo of my ID is going to live on some third party server with questionable security for ever. Choosing “Confirm Details” yields an empty list, so I’m SOL. If somebody swiped your credit card, you can get a new one with a new number, and call fraud protection right away. Almost nobody laughs at you because your card is ugly. Not so with any form of government identity. What that will really work for me is an obscenely high security deposit set by the host.
