When I first encountered login.gov several years ago I rolled my eyes and thought, "there's absolutely no way that anybody in the government got all these different organizations to have any sort of effective common logon scheme." Yet, three years later, I'm always amazed that it works effectively as it does across so many systems. The worst offender is probably EFTPS, for doing payroll taxes, that has additional obscure and inscrutable login stuff on top of login.gov, but the login.gov part of it works well for everything science related I do.
