Are they locked into a contract that prevents them to use login.gov? I presume once the irs and dmv switched Id.me is toast

Login.gov is still in use by the states, though. I recently registered for CA’s DROP, and it used Login.gov.

This is absolutely unacceptable. Why do I have to give a third party my private info to access government services? They’ll operate it for the lowest cost and eventually get breached.

I'm still waiting for them to continue not responding to my type-written grievances.

They cash the checks, at least...
