italy has quite an interesting system[0] where multiple identity providers (authorized by the State) can be used to provide identification against the central database.
It'll probably be phased out at some point, but it's quite cool.

- lxgr 1y agoIf it integrates with eIDAS, it doesn't necessarily have to be phased out. A very good pragmatic decision of eIDAS was recognizing that many member countries have different existing eID schemes, and federating them is easier than rolling out a new one from scratch.
- riffraff 1y agoit doesn't, but there is already a competing system based on the national id card, which is just simpler to explain to people ("you log in with your ID card" vs "you log in with a third party identity provider where you need to create an account"), and the people who championed the old system are no longer around.
- magicalhippo 1y agoSimilar for gov't stuff here in Norway, where you can use the govt's own ID system (MinID), the common bank ID system (BankID), and a couple of commercial smart card solutions (Comfides, Buypass).
