I am failing to see how providing your Facebook password provides any legitimate confirmation about you and your associations. You can easily create a fake Facebook profile with your picture, fake posts, fake friends, fake everything.

The internet is a cesspool of people who troll, create fake profiles, invoke reactions, behave completely different than they would on the streets, and intentionally hide their identity. Using it as a primary source of identity verification is a terrible idea.

Why not require proof of a financial statement? Bank account in your name, or a process to verify somebody via their bank account without requiring their bank account password.
