I'll continue to disallow and block FB and sovrin can continue doing their thing without me.  I wish them a lot of luck

    And what happens to your data and ID when sovrin gets hacked?  Is
    sovrin going to insure your account and pay you for your loss? 
    Clean-up any identity fraud?  So far, all I see is a larger
    hack-target!

    I don't have anything against 2fa, I just think giving it to a
    business that is involved with selling your personal data is
    moronic.  They have no excusable reason even knowing your real
    name, why you giving them info directly traceable to specifically
    you?

    Especially with the ability of most websites to remember the
    device you’re logging in from it’s usually a once in a great
    while thing.

    I do hate 2fa as well, I had an issue with a credit card
    payment to my cell carrier last week, so my service was shut
    off. So I go to log into my credit card portal, guess where the
    auth text got sent. But the cumbersome nature of it did force
    me to rethink my refusal to put alternate forms of payment on
    file and to actually open credit card statements.
    Fyi, percent cashback only pays off of you're cards are set to
    pay the balance automatically and not the default of minimum
    monthly payment. That default should be illegal too

        I only use 2FA when required. It's a pain in the butt.
        I do use a password manager with randomly generated passwords.

        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.
