The internet made a strange assumption very early on:
To prove you should have access to something, you should first tell a company who you are.
Your name.
Your email.
Your phone number.
A password tied to all of it.
But identity and authorization are two different things.
A service may need to know that you’re authorized to access an account.
It doesn’t always need to know who you are.
That distinction matters.
The future of authentication should require less identity, not more of it.
