Why is Web3 identity different to Web2 (part 1)

from BlockchainGandalf Hosted by Keir Finlow-Bates

The three authentication mechanisms are: 1️⃣ Something you know 2️⃣ Something you have 3️⃣ Something you are But what about a fourth one: something only you can do? In this video, I look at the fundamental different between identifying yourself to a Web3 website using a blockchain wallet, and Web2 using a username and password. It has to do with asymmetric key cryptography. In part 2, I will talk more about why blockchain is an important piece of the puzzle for a number of different reasons (because what I talk about in this video could be used in Web2, but generally speaking isn't.)
