WhatA hardware-key-based authentication service where second-factor removal requires physical device confirmation and a mandatory cooling-off period, making it impossible for any support channel — human or AI — to bypass.
SignalMultiple commenters express deep frustration that two-factor authentication is essentially theater when low-level support staff or AI agents can simply disable it upon request — the entire security model collapses because the recovery path has no integrity.
Why NowThe combination of AI support agents (easier to socially engineer at scale) and the growing value of social media accounts (creator economy, business presence) has made 2FA bypass the primary attack vector, not the edge case it once was.
MarketHigh-value account holders — creators, businesses, crypto users, executives. Adjacent to the hardware security key market (Yubico ~$500M+) but differentiated as a service layer. Gap: YubiKey protects login but doesn't prevent support-channel bypass.
MoatHardware-software integration and platform partnerships create high switching costs; establishing trust as the 'unbreakable' auth layer builds brand moat similar to how Signal owns the 'private messaging' position.
