Same thing happened in Belgium in the last few years where it is called 'Itsme'. Including government openly promoting it in their messaging and services.

There is sadly little awareness of it being a private joint venture between banking and telecom.

I don't know if it is realistic to expect governments to come up/run this, but when they promote it, I think it should at least be open source.

I don't think it should be open source.

But it's very expensive to integrate it and it's Ogone all over again ( most expensive option = the Belgian one) ~3€ / user/year for the most complete option for ( what is basically) a login verification.
