End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.

Behind the government pitch of an “open source project, completely optional” hides big tech industry… Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

    itsme is often the only option when doing things on mobile

    Indeed that’s why TOTP, via e.g. Ente Auth, was a good surprise. I didn’t see it until now and I believe that’s the mobile alternative to ItsMe.

      That’s what I was saying — sometimes the TOTP option is not available at all for certain services. Ente, Aegis, Bitwarden, etc won’t save you there and itsme remains the only option on mobile when that’s the case.

        That’s actually a choice made by the service. The onboarding document has the options listed and they get to choose, which is imho stupid. Just offer all options.

        Service A has email enabled, service B doesn’t. Since ACM/IDM is SSO you can first authenticate with service A with your email code and then go to service B already authenticated.
