Login.gov doesn't.. but plenty of federal sites (like IRS) are still using that id.me poppycock. Here's to hoping they prioritize a migration soon.

- toomuchtodo 2y agoLogin.gov is adding the capabilities needed to meet IRS’ identity and credential proofing requirements. Will require biometrics in some form, with fallback to in person proofing at USPS. (no affiliation, just a fan)
- Terr_ 2y agoI was absolutely flabbergasted that they didn't even white-label the third party stuff behind their own .gov domain, which means they're mis-training users towards "It's normal to hand over extremely sensitive official information to vaguely-plausible-looking companies with websites and certificates ultimately under the control of Montenegro."
- SoftTalker 2y agoAnd they'll accept anything from you without any ID whatsoever if you just use paper and a postage stamp.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoWhat do you mean exactly?
- photonbeam 2y agoThe IRS doesnt require any auth if you print out whatever and mail it to them, no internet. They just believe you
- redserk 2y agoI doubt any conventional web user knows or cares that “.me” is a ccTLD, or that it’s even related to Montenegro. If anything the reaction is “you don’t need a .com!?”
- mgiampapa 2y agoSSA Already announced the switch to login.gov, it looks like it will have broad support if they are starting the migration there.
- darby_nine 2y agoI don't suppose this implies the end of the social security number as a form of identity access authorization?
- Uvix 2y agoNo, because the government didn’t use it as one, just private businesses.
