Multiple signature
Hello LET! Are there domain registrars that use multi-signature authentication? There are a few of us who want to purchase a domain, but none of us can do anything without the others... Contracts are worthless; they are not respected. We're looking for a solution where we can sign with a key from opening the account to modifying the DNS records.

Each of you get to choose 6 characters of the password in an order of your choosing
😅 wow!
But any of us could sniff the machine from which the account is created, or if we used a disposable virtual one, later when we log in remotely, this can be done
No
Find a provider that allows you to use U2F key based 2FA and lock U2F key behind however many lock boxes with each person having a different key. Store the thing at the bank in a safe deposit box, with a note saying that access requires all of the people to consent.
Shamir's secret sharing ?

but realistically you would need a multi-signature smart contract deployed to one of the blockchain ETH/Solana/Polygon etc which would only execute once there are sufficient signatures.
Unstoppable Domains seems to have the feature but can't buy regular domains there.

SSS doesn't work here because theoretically at the beginning the password must be seen by someone.
You can use a normal multisig wallet, no smart contract required.
