Ability to reassign avatar ownership to other players.

So here is the thing. So as we all know the Unity SDK is the only way to get avatars assigned to a particular VRChat account. This is fine if you make/upload avatars your self. But for the players that cant use the SDK, for whatever reason, there should be a way to get avatars on their account. Basically what I'm saying is there should be a way to transfer the ownership of an avatar to another player, like for instance, if someone makes an avatar as a commission for another player. Rather than risking your account by needing to give your username and password to the avatar creator, he or she should be able to willingly send the uploaded avatar to the other players account. Kinda like trading in-game items in an effect.
I mean, right now for players without anyway to use the SDK, sending their account info to other avatar creators to upload on their behalf is the only way to do this at the moment. And I find it to be a FAIRLY big security problem.

necro-ing an old canny, this will be useful for players that plan to quit but has content so their content can be passed-on to friends, fans etc

i really like the idea but i also get the feeling that someone will make a hack that will abuse this great feature somehow to make avatar stealing easier

This sounds like a feature that could be on the VRchat website.
There is a "mail" tab right now that isn't used for anything, so the process of sending someone an avatar could be in unity upload the avatar and select "gift to" and enter your friends account name. The friend would get a message in the mail section and accept/deny the avatar.
To avoid known people getting spammed with nasty avatars it could be limited by default to only allow ingame friends send avatars to each other.

I bet you just have to assign the avatar id to the new account you want to give it to. If so it would not be too hard to implement.
But isn't that the same as just adding the avatar to the fav list?
No cause that would clutter the list of the creator if he or she does that for many people. So just give the id to someone else and take it away from the own list may indeed be the better solution.
Lets say you wear the avatar one last time, point on the one you want to give it to, click "donate", done. It's gone from you and appears in the other menu now. The new owner can set it up so the old owner can or can not edit the avatar from the account it was initialy uploaded with.
