2023? All my signatures at least in the last decade were fake wet signatures. All leasing docs, employment docs, and banks...

I use the Preview App that comes standard on OSX. You scan a signature on a piece of paper with your webcam. Then you can just "paste it" anywhere, I even give it a dark blue shade.

I had a single person give me shit and say they needed "ink on paper" insisting me to print/sign/scan. I just ran the PDF file through a website that makes it look like it was scanned with some imperfections and tilt. I wouldn't be able to tell it myself.

I don't trust any websites for that. Instead I display the document on the laptop monitor where the page has a white background but everything beyond the page is black. Then I use my phone's builtin scanner to "scan" my laptop screen.

I do the same - if anyone asks, I tell them it is a scanned copy.

I honestly did look at conformed signatures etc with a desire to do things "properly". However, all too often it was a problem - so fake signature it is.

I do one extra step and "print to pdf" so that signature and annotations (if I have typed in content on a form) are flattened in the final pdf.

Same here. I don't think I've signed anything by hand other than a restaurant bill or the occasional time I'm handed a document in person within the last 8 years or so.

Adding to your list, even government documents as well as those related to my medical practice and licensing/registration stating "electronic signatures are not accepted" have taken the wet signature from Apple.

Presumably this is all valid?
