So these are the positive and negative associations that researchers have of open science according to Zuzanna Zagrodzka orcid.org/0000-0002-86...

More senior researchers are more familiar with Open Science - Good news
More senior researcher see Open Science less positively and riskier - Not good news
Hard to untangle if that's generational or if researchers are being put off openness as they gain experience.

The STM research identity task and finnish group are suggesting a sort of publishing passport to verify authors' identities that could integrate into a digital wallet.
It could frustrate authors and create burden, but if done right, would only need to be done once and be a net time saver.
