Product Hunt Founder Ryan Hoover (@rrhoover) asked: "What's a problem you would pay to have solved?"

On Twitter / X, @rrhoover asked: "What's a problem you would pay to have solved?" https://x.com/rrhoover/status/17... I'd also like to know (out of curiosity), but would love to also have this discussion here. 🐱

One of my answers: Alternatives to passwords. Maybe in the form of "passwordless authentication" but both more convenient and more secure. Intro. to "passwordless authentication" and also list of examples for it that I quickly "researched" via Google: https://mojoauth.com/blog/passwo... "There are many good alternatives to passwords that not only resolve security concerns but provide a great user experience too. The following is the list of 15 top password alternative authentication: Fingerprint scan Facial recognition Retina scan Voice recognition Magic Link or Email Link Email OTP SMS OTP Two-factor authentication Security key authentication Social login Passkey authentication Single-sign On PIN authentication Pattern authentication Keystroke authentication — MojoAuth"

One of my answers: Newsletter e-mails never reaching me for which I never signed up. Not interested in yet more of the same: - Creating "private" e-mail addresses (doesn't work) - Filtering based on words, domains, etc. - Mass unsubscribing - Reporting spam - Blocking - Etc.

Taking a notion page with long-form content, chopping it down to bite-size content as text, images (slides), audio and video to share on social media. So I can just focus on writing and know that people will get snippets of it. Super time consuming to do now.

I totally agree on those you've already suggested Eithiriel! RE PASSWORDS: we have to move beyond longer and longer versions of complicated letters, numbers, symbols. Every time your personal data gets hacked & you receive an email about it saying 'you may need to update a number of your personal passwords', the work involved to recreate, save in your p/w manager, test they work etc etc is too much. Apple's fingerprinting & face ID which is moving into many banking apps etc is brilliant, but can someone invent one globally recognised biometrics solution so we don't have to set it a gazillion times for every single app you create an account within? It also needs to consider burns victims etc who may lose their physical biometrics and then not be able to access anything...? What happens then? The data also can't be stored server-side, it must be client-side to avoid hackers accessing it. The amount of spam I get on my iPhone these days because my data has been leaked so many times over & over is frustrating. Also, consider neurodiverse people. I have ADHD & just remembering passwords, login numbers on multiple devices, etc, is exhausting. My husband also has ADHD, & the number of times he's forgotten passwords for various devices & is unable to login - too many times to list! I've setup 1Password for our family, but he still finds it too confusing & complicated to use. It's buggy & doesn't work seamlessly. RE EMAILS: the same issue. Every time anyone buys anything online, you automatically get subscribed to their newsletter, which you never opted into. A breach of spam/privacy laws. I spend time every day unsubscribing to all these emails. Even when you unsubscribe, they still send 'important" product updates. Again, Apple's 'hide my email" seems to work but isn't always offered on all websites for transactions. I'd pay for a bullet-proof privacy solution that protects my personal data, mobile phone number, email, address, ID, biometrics in a private vault where I grant access only to organisations where I specifically opt in. I don't need a weekly email after I buy one pair of socks for my son! Rant over! 😆

I'd pay good money to have the ability to magically find missing socks from the laundry. Solving that mystery is like cracking the Da Vinci Code of the household! 🧦🔍
