The Trump administration is reinforcing the significance of Login.gov as a vital component in combating fraud across government services. The announcement, made by GSA’s Technology Transformation Services director, Thomas Shedd, assures that the program will maintain its course despite the discontinuation of the 18F tech consultancy. With over 100 million accounts established for various governmental services, the Login.gov initiative will incorporate enhanced identity verification features, including facial recognition, and the acceptance of mobile driver's licenses, aimed at increasing operational efficiency and diminishing fraudulent activities.
I can assure you that Login.gov's work carries forward as a critical part of Government-wide efforts to promote efficiency and fight fraud.
The roadmap referenced by Shedd includes plans to accept mobile drivers licenses and bolster Login.gov's anti-fraud capabilities.
Over 100 million people have Login.gov accounts already to access government services, such as online Social Security accounts or unemployment insurance applications.
Some government agencies offer other options as well, or rely completely on outside vendors to verify that someone is who they claim to be.
