Why not both? We give out our personal data to strangers all the time. Nothing new just different application. Have you created an online account with the IRS or the DMV? Same thing. You verify your identify then encrypted data or tokens get sent to the site you’re accessing. There is a solution that I’m not paid enough to develop.

No never created an account wit IRS or DMV as I am not American. And fir all the bit leaks that happened recently I for sure don't want a company in charge of verifying people ID.

For sure. Maybe some other government website in your country that would have to verify your identity?

I get it. I don’t trust these companies either but we’re too entangled in it already. That concern was a couple decades ago. Too late now.
