A solution for identity doesn't necessarily imply a lack of anonymity on the entire internet.
It sure would be nice to not have to update so many payment details after a card number gets stoken though.
Last time my card was stolen I had to update a tremendous number of services. Usually I just wait until I get some sort of notice or my account stops working somewhere but it's a pain in the butt.
- acqq 11y agoThe reason the new number is issued depends on the update procedure being non-trivial and hopefully less broad than the last time. Otherwise, they'd just let you continue using the same one. That's the most convenient solution.

Are you sure it's possible to have a solution with all requirements the article specifies yet without infringing on anonymity? A bunch of solutions I'm thinking about suffer from one or more shortcomings.
