I suppose if people are so concerned about disabling password resets, the=
n it isn't really unreasonable to expect them to send public keys to you =
instead. You do need a solid way of identifying them somehow, and this is=
inherently more secure than relying on human verification of potentially=
faked image data.

It also removes a lot of the risk involved in the verification process=E2=
=80=A6 either a key matches or it doesn't, but visually verifying images =
is a much more fuzzy situation.
