This has zero chance of working if normies have to fiddle with keypairs.

There's no reason they have to "fiddle" with it. Generating a new keypair could be a button.

Normies use keypairs every time they connect to an https site. They just don't know it, nor is there any reason why they should.

This is not a function of "could." They're already asking users to do it. If they "could," why didn't they? To make something easy, you first have to actually make it easy. Not let forum users argue about how easy it "could" be.

Because this is early days?

Surely you don't imagine that every product emerges in its final form?

Maybe instead you could explain why they couldn't. As I noted, people seem to be able to use TLS to make secure connections to websites without generating keypairs from the command line, or whatever.

Edit: and in fact this has been done.

Type in your name. Hit "Go". Done.
