    So is this going to only work with fediverse accounts or are you gonna try and teach people about public/private keys?

    And what happens when that database leaks and someone starts using your key to post illegal things? Or should we use password rules and have your library generate you a new key for every platform?

      I’m not sure about the details yet. I think, libraries give you 1 chip card that contains a public/private key pair that you can use to “proof” yourself on the internet. Ideally, it would have widespread support and many platforms (both fediverse and commercial platforms) would support it.

      I think it may or may not be tied to your person, i.e. you might get that chip card without any kind of ID. Then it wouldn’t matter so much if it leaks. But idk, just floating ideas here.
