Digital identity recovery service to regain access from locked-out accounts.
Opportunity: The user is dealing with a nightmare scenario: a banned Gmail account that also served as their Google Authenticator hub, locking them out of all linked services. This highlights a major vulnerability in our digital lives. There's a real opportunity here for a 'digital identity escrow' or recovery service.
Product Form: This platform would let users proactively register their essential online accounts. If they get locked out, the service would offer an independent, secure way to verify their identity through pre-arranged alternative methods (like trusted contacts, video verification, or hardware keys) and help with the official account recovery process. It would act like an insurance policy against total digital exclusion.
Expected Revenue: Revenue could come from a monthly or annual subscription model, given the high-value protection it offers. For individuals, a B2C model could start at $3-$5/month. A B2B model could also work, offered to companies as an employee benefit to protect both personal and corporate account access, reducing downtime and support tickets.
