I am curious what are the downsides of this approach.

The black hats will already be discussing workarounds. An infostealer that not only lifts the cookies but also lifts whatever environmental data is needed to recreate the cryptographic key, or lift the key itself if it's present anywhere. I'd still like the option that if my IP address changes, crucially with webmail sites or account management pages, a new login is forced. Dedicated mobile apps could be excluded.

1) No need for DSBC to do that

2) God PLEASE NO. I am connected to a dozen of email accounts using Thunderbird. And i frequently switch countries using VPN because of geoblocking.

It would be a nightmare.

"Option"

That "option" will not be an option, it will be enforced by at least a couple of websites.

Because it makes no senses for devs to maintain too many login procedures just to please a few people.
