- sneak 2y agologin.gov is fedgov SSO for citizens, not employees.
- sarchertech 2y agoSo let’s say we go back to the original departments of war, treasury, and state. And the offices of the attorney general and the postmaster general. That’s 5 logins right there. Then we have the first patent board established in 1790. Then all of the federal courts could use the SSO if they wanted. What about when you want to login to request a tour of the capitol, access the library of congress, or book an appointment with your representative. We have over 300 million people so there will probably be separate offices within some of the departments to handle some of the more common requests. There’s probably going to be a passport office and separate office to handle immigration and visas. Treasury will probably have separate offices to handle accounts payable and tax collection. Add in miscellaneous things like logins to handle freedom of information requests. Logins to register homestead claims and mining claims in US territories. My point is that even in the most minimal government only possible in a libertarian’s wet dream, there’s gonna be enough delegate logins that SSO is a good idea.
