Italy has SPID. It’s a federated login system based on your fiscal code (every Italian has one). You can use it to log into any government service and potentially banks and such. If you do lose access to your 2FA (required, it’s your phone), you can:

- re-verify yourself with the provider, with a real ID

- get a new ID with another provider, which still points to the same fiscal code

As a global solution, it would be great to have a “real identity provider” that offers this but also allows me to log into services without giving them too much information.

Apple ID seems relatively good for this given that it lets me hide the address and change my name during registration.
