I really hope the manage to do this properly. I'm all for verification on the internet, but only if it is fast, secure and reasonably private. You can do it, but noboy has so far

    What's your assessment of the German eID and AusweisApp2 that has been in use for many years?

    I can say that it works fine for me, although I'm not up to speed regarding its security. I like that it explicitly tells me what kind of data is requested and by whom. The problem here is mainly low adoption. If they rolled the exact thing out EU wide, it would probably gain more traction. It's a joke they have no official Linux support despite having an Android app tho
