More of our lives are going online by the minute as we all get used to living through social distancing and working from home; digital identity does not yet have one definition as many think it constitutes social media profiles and others believe it is their credit score; 76 percent of consumers are extremely or very concerned about having their information stolen online, 60 percent believe they are powerless to protect their identity; new technologies can better protect people online as many sites now have a simple, secure process that enables people to gain access to a variety of e-commerce and digital banking services; who should store our digital identity is still up for debate as both governments and big tech companies have proven to be careless with personal data; perhaps self sovereign identity is the way forward, though we are not yet there people can still better protect themselves digitally.
