> fact that people have multiple identities on purpose.

Most people still use the same password (or password management device, or physical MFA device) for both their work and personal logins. This is evidence that most people have the same identity, as would be intuitive. I’m not sure what the bigger picture is, but password secrets are the single service model for identity.

Well one instance of a password manager is somewhat one identity, but that single identity is only known/accessed by me. Everyone else sees multiple identities.
