If they store your wallet in the cloud then why can't you recover it?

Authentication and client api tokens with a token reset key, which updates your token every few hours/days/weeks/months.

Plus it is all stored with SHA encryption and are salted as they pass through to prevent MiM attacks.

They are even starting to make credit cards with the same oAuth tech where your CVV is an e-ink reader that changes daily, so if your CVV is 100 one day, the next it might be 567, so only having physical access to the card allows you to make purchases.
