One of the big wins was login.gov which is modern, easy to use, more secure, and less expensive than the crazy array of ancient agency-specific login systems it was in the process of replacing.
What happens to it now, I have no idea. It’s probably going to be scrapped in favor of “login with X”.
- arjie 2y agoIf login.gov is scrapped, I would imagine the guys who are best positioned to take over would be id.me (who already have the irs.gov contract and more).
- snowwrestler 2y agoID.me might be in the worst position. There was already a big public backlash against it, so previous IRS leadership was working to replace it. And it doesn’t send any money back to Elon Musk, so future IRS leadership won’t want to save it either. (Only half joking…)
- arjie 2y agoFascinating. I didn't know people even knew they existed.
