I'm a little surprised you don't mention Finland's rather effective solution: banks act as an authentication service, so you can log into to your bank to prove who you are, and the bank then redirects you to the original website. As Finland has only half a dozen or so consumer banks, and virtually everybody had an account with one or more, this works quite nicely.
- benilov 13y agoThe UK is adopting a similar approach: http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2013/01/17/identity-beyond/ http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2013/01/17/identity-beyo...
- rapala 13y agoI actually did mention that. :) I think the system is pretty good. The only problem it has, that I know of, is the price. The user of the service has to pay for every single authentication. Couple of years ago the price was 14 cents per authentication. That was enough for a one government project to second guess their choice of authentication.
