worldcoin project solves a lot of this when combined with web of trust, however everyone's knee jerk reaction to worldcoin is pretty bad and so it's annoying to even mention it

I’m not knowledgeable in crypto/worldcoin.

I was rather thinking classical cryptography baked into generative networks.

Worldcoin was intended to solve it but in practice it's not being used that way. Not enough adoption by users or websites.

Maybe in the future?

I'm a worldcoiner but so far it's just been free money.

i mean it's in its infancy, if there's a critical need for it, which i think there will be soon, i think it'll get more popular

US citizens still use paper Social Security Cards. The point where there is a "critical need" recognized by the relevant parties may be further off than you believe.
