humanID:
> Creates a *fully anonymous, privacy-first identity* that enables communities to block bots and abusive users.
> Protects the identity of its users through an *irreversible hash*, generating an ID that is unique to each user and platform the user is logging into.
> Enables platforms to decrease the cost of monitoring and moderating content, eliminates the significant business risk of data leaks, and appeals to a growing audience of privacy-focused consumers.
> Replaces invasive tools such as 'Login with Facebook' or Google's ReCAPTCHA
Generally up to the website on how to implement the system. Some have done with usernames, some without.
Generally, users aren't looking for a 'I forgot my password' button if they aren't asked for a password in the first place.
this is an example for simplification & explanation reasons, as most of the people who see this website barely know what a bit is. we'll try to address this better, thanks for the feedback
one of the humanID founders here.
Very much appreciate the feedback, and also appreciate those that addressed concerns before we could. Always open to those that want to help fix any technical issues they might find - the team is fully nonprofit & open source, you're more than welcome to help!
Also, to be clear, while the site was down for an hour, the login never was, as we have set that up independently from the site.
