I don't blame them for wanting to, but this won't work. Anyone who would be swayed by such a deepfake won't believe the verification if it is offered.

Agreed and I still think there is value in doing it.

I don't think that's what this is for. I think this is for reasonable people, as well as for other governments.

Besides, passwords can be phished or socially engineered, and some people use "abc123." Does that mean we should get rid of password auth?

Deepfakes could get better. And if they do, a lot more people will start to get fooled
