SecureKey Concierge
May 21, 2020
I was required to log in to a secure government web site recently and in addition to the usual options (a PKI system called MyKey) I was given the option to use SecureKey Concierge. It works a lot like a Google login, except that it uses a trusted authority, like a bank. It felt a bit weird using my bank login to access a government service, but it worked perfectly and was easier to use than the cumbersome system I'd used previously. I have mixed feelings about the use of this system - on the one hand, I am no fan of the financial sector, yet on the other hand, I can't imagine a single government-issued ID ever gaining the sort of broad-based acceptance needed.
