"At Robinhood, we’re designing wallets to be intuitive, with security features such as identity verification, multi-factor authentication, and email and phone verification to keep coins safe from hacks and other threats."

Since when does identity verification protect your coins from the threat of hacking or makes it safer to store your crypto? I thought it was always exactly the opposite, in the case of a hack all your identity information might be stolen by a malicious actor, which further might be used against you making your coins and yourself painfully vulnerable to physical and virtual attacks.
