The Office of Management and Budget announced a new policy requiring most public-facing government services to use Login.gov, according to a White House fact sheet, aiming for what it calls a universal sign-on across agencies.

The release frames the move as solving duplicated, costly identity systems agencies currently procure and operate separately, and promises smoother, more secure digital interactions for the public.

No specifics are offered on cost savings, implementation timeline, or which services are exempt from what it calls 'most' public-facing systems.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A press release announcing a login page as a triumph of 21st-century governance tells you plenty about how low the bar has been set. Saving taxpayer dollars and improving user experience are the two most load-bearing phrases in any government fact sheet, and both arrive here with zero numbers attached.
