If the US government created its own SSO system and mandated that all government website used it as primary while allowing third parties to use it too this could become a solved problem. It would be a credential that could be accessed via existing paper based systems. Places like Google allowing it as a sign in method would actually solve this case. Sadly I think the tech world in general is so allergic to losing privacy that even something optional like this would get lobbied out of existence just by tech companies alone.
- zie 4y agologin.gov exists. It's not mandated, nor does it currently allow non-government users(last I checked), but otherwise it generally solves the technical problems fine.

- jackson1442 4y agoYou can sign-in as a non-government user (though they also have CAC support for federal govt users). There's built-in document/identity proofing as well but there are some extra requirements to get that enabled on an application. You do need to be working with the government to integrate with Login.gov though (but it's just OIDC on the backend)
- antgiant 4y agoThat is perfect! Just need it to be opened up a little so that places like Google can enable it as a Lyn optional primary login.
