Platforms are forcing identity verification. This tool tells you which method leaks the least about you.

proof-of-human reddit

Why

Reddit just announced forced human verification for flagged accounts. The options: passkeys, World ID, or government ID. One of these shares nothing about you. The others share everything. Most people don't know the difference.

This tool does.

What it does

For any supported platform, it:

1. Lists every verification method available
2. Ranks them by privacy (what data you share)
3. Shows exactly what each method sends to the platform
4. Tells you which to pick and which to avoid
5. Gives setup instructions

Privacy Rankings

Method	Privacy	Anonymous?	You Share
Passkey (Touch ID/Face ID)	EXCELLENT	Yes	A cryptographic key. Nothing personal.
Authenticator App (TOTP)	GOOD	Yes	A 6-digit code. Nothing else.
World ID	GOOD	Yes	A ZK proof. But you gave World your iris.
Phone Number	FAIR	No	Your number = your identity via carrier.
Government ID	POOR	No	Your name, face, DOB, nationality. Everything.
Payment Method	POOR	No	Your name, address, financial details.

The short version

Use a passkey. It proves you're human using your fingerprint or face, but that biometric data never leaves your device. The platform sees a cryptographic key — not your face, not your name, not anything.

Not legal advice

Laws in some countries (UK, Australia) may require government ID for age verification. This tool tells you what's private, not what's legal in your jurisdiction.
