Despite the fact that I and many of us here took and will in the future take proctored exams, I would support a complete ban on them. Yes, even if it means the end of my education adventures. I see potential online scams as consequences of online proctoring. I'll be happier knowing there will be less opportunities for scammers devastating people's lives. I have seen enough examples, you can watch many in youtube. That is my opinion.

P.S.
Sophia and CSM Learn course are using good enough methods to recognize it is us who take the test with keyboard writing patterns. Improving or creating similar systems of authentication seem a lot better to me. A lot more secure above all.

We need proctoring to prevent cheating.

You are right, online security is a major concern. Keep in mind you could do proctoring on a separate hard drive partition with its own separate OS installation. You can use burner credit cards and emails.

People still cheat with proctoring. It doesn't prevent it 100%. People will always find a way to cheat. Some people just don't belong in college. People cheat with papers as well......always have. Now it's just easier to catch them. 

Security is a major issue as there are have already been numerous breaks in security with these proctoring companies. A division of a hard drive isn't really going to protect you. Neither will burner credit cards or emails. You're required to upload a colored photo of your driver's license to your account on Examity. You also have to show it in the video. I have tried for a year to get my license photo removed and they still have not removed it.
