I thought it was that login.gov does single-sign-on (SSO) and ID.me does SSO and identify verification at both the signup and sign-in level.

- zie 5y agoLogin.gov absolutely cares about your identity. Case in point: login.gov will share your SSN to the provider(irs.gov in this case), if appropriate permissions are requested.
- dqv 5y agoWhen does it ask for your identity? I just signed up and all it needed was my email, password, and my token. It doesn’t know who I am though. It didn’t even ask for my name.
- atonse 5y agoThey have two tiers. I love their system. The lower tier is like and Internet account. Validate with a password and 2fa, etc. The next tier is required to log in to certain sites and requires you to upload ID etc to verify. Once you have verified with that, you have an extra set of attributes to do more sensitive things on certain sites.
- dqv 5y agoInteresting. I’m looking forward to it when the IRS adopts it.

- megaman821 5y agoLast time I tried to do something at the IRS website, I had to turn on my camera and have my face compared to the face they have on file to proceed. I don't think login.gov has that level of verification. Whether the IRS needs that level of verification is another question.
- zie 5y agoThat's ID.me and login.gov works differently, but it does absolutely care about identity, they have multiple levels of identity permissions, one of them is , this person has a login.gov account. One of them includes an SSN #.
