How would you prevent the token from being used by a different person than it was issued to? This is the online equivalent of getting your older cousin to buy you alcohol from the store using their own valid ID

How do you prevent your house key being used by a different person, that it was not issued to?

[takinola]

I don’t get the analogy. I keep my house keys out of the hands of people I don’t want in. In this case, the age verification is being circumvented by someone simply asking another person to perform it on their behalf.

I guess the practical answer is that it’s impossible because there’s always the option to have an adult perform the verification and then hand over the device to the minor

Why do you want the online process to be more secure than the one using physical IDs?

[takinola]

Mostly because online process can scale a lot further and faster. An older cousin can only walk into a store to buy so much alcohol but a stolen token can be reused a million times in a second.
