Bitshares people are attempting a fully decentralized solution for strong
identities called Keyhotee.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZaTdEtK-8

It's a competitor to http://onename.io/ which sits on top of namecoin.

It's not clear which one, if any, will see wide adoption.

If there is something compelling to make 100 million people switch from
gmail then it might happen, if not, these will remain niche systems w/o
widespread support or adoption.

Cheers ...
