The new tech stuff the government has been putting out is legitimately fantastic. login.gov is probably my favorite sign-in experience, maybe slightly behind Google's (and considerably ahead of Apple or Microsoft's).

Do they still force you to share your biometrics with a third party private service (Id.me)?

Login.gov doesn't.. but plenty of federal sites (like IRS) are still using that id.me poppycock. Here's to hoping they prioritize a migration soon.

Login.gov is adding the capabilities needed to meet IRS’ identity and credential proofing requirements.

Will require biometrics in some form, with fallback to in person proofing at USPS.
