Keybase has succeeded in making crypto and user verification user-friendly enough for day to day use. (Even though it's probably not easy enough to use in day to day e-mail.)

This new mobile experience is very slick, with a very smooth login flow that just 'feels' secure as well.

The Keybase verification of different services feels very much like what ClaimID used to do, back when OpenID was showing promise as an open, secure, easy to use single sign on protocol. I'd still love for someone to solve this challenge once and for all. For some reason I'd love to see what the team behind Keybase might come up with in this space. (For now I'll have to do with using 1Password and 2FA wherever possible.)
