What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that detects and alerts users when they are stuck in a known authentication loop on major platforms.
  2. A third-party account recovery concierge service that helps users navigate complex automated support systems for locked accounts.
  3. A community-driven dashboard that tracks real-time authentication failure rates for major platforms to help users identify if the issue is site-wide.
  4. A browser extension that provides alternative, accessible verification methods for users stuck in captcha loops on major platforms.
  5. A third-party verification service that acts as a bridge to help users bypass broken platform-specific registration flows.
