Agreed. Sigh. It is super easy to send a screenshot of your barcode to someone else, or to have them link your pass in the app. Furthermore it is very difficult to tell whether or not it is a screenshot unless they start tapping around on the screen to see what happens.In related news, Disney has started cracking down on printed out Magic Keys. For context, since they were on sale it was a bit of a trend (on TikTok anyway) for folks to get blank PVC cards and print out their pass barcode on them to avoid paying the $20 paper pass and to have a personal printed out record in case the app fails (I understand that since then most folks have been able to get one for free, but I digress). This apparently led to a lot of discount abuse (shocker), and so now they're only accepting the pass on your phone (not a screenshot, but actually in the app) and officially printed paper passes.
It's a shame, considering I went through all the trouble to design and print out my own pass. It was super convenient at table-service restaurants so I didn't have to give CMs my phone or transcribe my number on the receipt.

It would be so much easier if Disney just gave us cards like they used to. It's not like they don't all of a sudden have the equipment anymore.
The _real_ solution here would be to have it so that when the CM scans your barcode, the system displays the name associated with it, and then they check your ID to verify that the name matches. Either that, or display the photo on file from the ticketing system.
