      1. Recover Wallet - mitigations e.g. sharding, social key recovery (if 3 of my 5 friends say I am who I claim to be, then they can support recovery), which is a gap in the market.  Risk is it's the only wallet, but can be rebuilt from the history of the ledger, whereas w/credentials have to return to the issuer.  Especially an issue for target audience.  
      2. Security consideration - back-up and restore - how is it protected.
