This is why I am really looking forward to PIDs in the European Digital Identity ecosystem (EUDI) [1]. This works with the OpenID Verifiable Credentials spec built on top of Oauth2. There are open source solutions in the competition for building the EUDI Wallet and the architecture and reference framework is openly accessible [2]. All credentials are kept with the holder (you) at all times. Basically implementation of the EU eIDAS 2.0 regulation, obviously subject to GDPR.

Mandated to be accessible to EU citizens by 2027 when all Member States have developed a Wallet solution.

Not associated but learned through it at work recently, just awesome project and thought I'd share in this context.
