> Paint to forge official documents good enough for them to pass? That's some skill! I was thinking more about signatures on paper documents. There's been many times I had to pretend to print a PDF I just received, sign it and scan it. Obviously I've just overlaid my signature with a Paint-like tool. This idiocy appears to be widespread enough that open-source projects exist to make more convincing renditions: https://github.com/erstazi/falsisign > If this was available and made stuff for me easier and wasn't tied to a device I'd use it, just like passkeys. Ideally it would be NFC/smartcard based, with optional smartphone integration (you can bootstrap a virtual time-limited copy of it from a physical one). > I also have a suspicion it will be overly complicated and massively over budget, and likely fail. The digital equivalent of HS2. Oh

yeah obviously, this is the UK we're talking about; but in theory the idea is nice and would save a lot of headaches if done well (also remove the need for some parasitic industries like fraud protection or credit reference agencies, so another reason why it probably won't succeed).
