OV was never really accessible in browsers. Even the vendors pushing these seemed to avoid showing how to identify one (when they would screencap the EV green bar), and probably for good reasons.
> You can purchase an EV cert for $80 a year from NameCheap
I've been through this a quite few times. The cost of the cert isn't the true cost. If I could pay $80 to Lets Encrypt to have every issued cert be EV, I'd do it just to avoid this bikeshed. Every single time I've done it, the validation process has been extremely painful. I feel like it's made up on the spot by whatever offshore person gets asked to do the validation. Documents accepted last year are suddenly not accepted at renewal time. Being denied because my Australian company doesn't show up on a UK business register for example.
- donmcronald 8y ago> avoid showing how to identify one The certificate policy identifier will be 2.23.140.1.2.2 for OV. You have to look at the certificate details to find it. I looked into it for someone once. Then I watched in amazement as less technical person insisted on OV certificates.
