Some people might drive 10 miles to get a wifi signal, but some people
barely have the motivation to get out of bed and take a shower.

This got me thinking. What do you think the public's tolerance would
be for full throated protection if it came at the cost of
inconvenience, like you have to verify your identity to reset a
password, but that also means a malicious actor would have to do the
same. If one of the steps required human interaction, like going to a
bank, or the dmv (never the dmv) or any authorized identity
verification location. Almost every jail and police department in
every podunk town has digital fingerprinting now. Most larger towns
have businesses whose sole purpose is fingerprinting people. There are
tons of ways to verify identity in person on top of the digital
mechanisms attached to Nexus.
Would the inconvenience force people to become more proactive to avoid
the inconvenience, like actually use a legitimate password manager and
2FA? Would they maybe not click every link they see?
I think its obvious that adoption, if voluntary would be virtually
nil. But what if the big 3 apple, Google and facebook implemented it?
Noting that those three also are the verification medium for a large
percentage of everything else.
It's a matter of time until identity theft is a multitrillion dollar
industry, the vast majority is rooted in convenience over security. I
can see even republicans backing funding for this type of thing
considering the cost is going to be much less than the recovery costs
of id theft
People will drive 10 miles to get a wifi signal for facebook, it's
really not outside the realm of reason for this to be a feasible process.
Can this idea be patented?

Facebook actually supports decent 2FA options like TOTP and FIDO
(i.e.
yubikey) for 2FA. I'd recommend enabling one of those.
