Sweden doesn't require that you have id to vote. You could alternatively bring in someone who will vouch for you and can present their id and personal id number. https://www.norden.org/sv/info-norden/rostratt-

That requires being able to plug in your device, right? How many such keys are needed? I'm guessing about 5? Give a couple to trusted friends, in case my residence burns down, keep one with me, and two at home as backup, because I know

Thank you for your supportive words. Certainly seeing articles like this about possible flaws in a centralized system, and the last of economic responsibility for fixing issues in affected customers, ... about people losing their Google id

Thanks, though I would say "different physical devices" not "different apps". This also gets into e-waste issues. I really don't want multiple phones, and in any case, consumer phones are expected to be replaced eve

My bank's terms of services say they are not responsible for flaws in the mobile phone or privacy issues in the store. If there is a vulnerability, who pays for fixing it? Who pays for the new phones? Of course the credit card companie

I don't want to require everyone to do that. I'm fine if others are willing to accept the risks of centralization of identify, payment, and apps into a single device. I understand the benefits you say are true for many people. I d

What I said was that centralization is the problem. Different tasks require different levels of identification. Cash (a traditional means of payment) requires no identification. I only carry up to about $200 in cash on me, which an amount I

It definitely supports my belief that centralizing identity, payment, and apps into a single device is a fundamentally flawed security model.

Right, but my question was how to handle the "oh shit!" case where you need to start from scratch, like getting your things stolen when in another country. Today I can connect to my email server using a library computer (or hotel

I'm really not knowledgeable about these new passkey systems. If I switch to this sort of system, does that mean that I won't be able to check email using the library computers any more? I am required to use the same hardware each

When I moved here was during a point when it was hard for a new immigrant to get an id unless vouched for. Banks could issue id then. My friends had a Swedbank account, so I was able to get set up with them. What is the best bank in Sweden?

I don't think they care that alternatives exist, or that they can help diminish the duopoly. It's cheaper for them to support only two phone systems/ecosystems, and from discussions on the /e/ list I'm sure Ban

I understand these exist. However, that doesn't mean BankID or Swish will work on them, or will continue to work with them in the future. BankID says the risk is entirely mine. That is not a risk I want to take. I figure it's eas

To publish a scientific paper many journals require an ORCID. The web site says "It’s free and only takes a minute, so register now!" which means they don't think people are going to read the ToS. I of course did. It takes mo
