I was surprised this post didn't even mention the existence or development around decentralized P2P technologies for identity management. We have the tech, it's mostly a problem of marketing and network effect. Large centralized brands like Google or Facebook are convenient active hubs of interconnected identities, but these centralized apps have the major downside of eventually leaking personal data that we don't want them too. Not to mention at some point it just gets so tiresome to create yet another account, for yet another brand. We need secure means to manage our own online identity in a way that can interoperate with all the brands out there with minimal risk.
