Some schemes could require the person to remember a passphrase (not printed out) that is mixed in with the one-time-token to compute the final verifier token.

Would the system providing some sort of plausible deniability token give enough cover for this? Is this a problem at scale?

Also... they can do this to you for your email, and social media logins too right?

I don't understand why this is fundamentally different than todays world where people wear MAGA hats or drive around with Obama/Biden bumper stickers. Sure it's not cryptographically verifiable. But it's certainly "good enough" for all practical purposes.
