I really do wish everyone making fun of me for not using big 3 corpo net products would get all their data stolen from their gmails and Apple devices so they stop trusting them.

I just give them fake data. If someone knows the right fake data, it's me.

Funny thing is, it turns out half my family uses the same fake data. They all really liked the last cat I had. The name of that cat (Jeff) is the color of the first car I had, and apparently two of my brothers did that exact same thing

This problem is already solved with asymmetric cryptography.

Important additions being that it should be easy for users to make secure backups of their private keys, and they should be able to replace their keys whenever they're comprised

My company requires the Okta (owned by Oracle) certification app to access our W-2. I can't get it because I don't have the app.

This, but our government sells our data under the guise of breach.
