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?

I can. Is it really that hard to get a text message and enter a six or
eight digit number to know that your account is secure.
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.
