What can I say? German ID app just works on GrapheneOS ๐คท
(Although my shitty health insurance company thinks it's not 'secure enough'...)
In Australia you can't access any government services via "myGov" or "Medicare" on graphene.. But the face scanning "myID" verification app works which is the highest accepted level of ID verification by digital govt services... How ridiculous
German here: There's an ID app??? Seriously, I never heard of that.
Which is kind of ok imo, they don't force you to use it.
Ahhh I just looked it up, it's an app that allows you to use the physical ID card for online verification. I knew that one, thought we have a fully digital ID now. That'd be a real innovation.
I get a similar thing with my Barclaycard app. It sulks and won't run with my FOSS keyboard active.
Ya. My benefits app warns me to use google's stock keyboard because my FOSS keyboard may be spying on me.
Boneheaded org has got it backwards!
A warning I can click through would be frustrating but liveable. My banking app refuses to load and throws me out until i change keyboards. Utter ass.
I'll be switching to GrapheneOS in a few months. If an app doesn't work, then we'll be doing something different.
Same on e/OS.
Banking and eID work just fine.
Health insurance first worked fine, got enshitificated, and later login ws restricted to password, no fingerprint...
There are always options beyond digital ID where I live. I am minimally inconvenienced for not using it.
This is not the case for what Starmer wants to do.
My phone is 14 years old, so no modern apps (especially the ones needing extra security) work there. In Ireland, we don't have a digital ID card, but there have been some equivalents:
My phone is 14 years old
Incredible work tbh. Mind me asking what phone that is?
I got 5 years out of my last one and 3 so far on current one and feel like I'm doing well with 8 years from two phones.
Samsung Galaxy S2. I've been always using it only for calling, texting, checking the weather in the morning, and automatic sync with my watch after a run (and perhaps with some light Internet browsing), so combined with a phone case, the phone has seen very little outside world, which limited any potential damage. I did have to replace the battery twice, though.
Now that my Canon Powershot died, though, I'm still considering whether to upgrade to a phone with good optics or get a new camera. They are roughly the same price.
S2 was a great phone in fairness. If you do upgrade the phone you'll be shocked at how far screens have come in that time. Cameras too but more on the mid range and higher phones. Cheaper ones are still taking mid pictures.
Norwegian BankID can only be installed via the app store, but it still works if you use the Aurora store and G.Micro.
Though I'd like to advocate publishing the app through an F-Droid repo.
What an uncritical, fluff article. Thanks for posting and asking questions OP. Government control and security concerns are both essential parts of this conversation, utterly overlooked by the article.
France: never used that digital thing.
If the security implementation relies on device not being compromised it is not secure at all
it's country dependent. here there's multiple digital id providers with different criteria. there's one owned by the largest isp, one owned cooperatively by all the banks, and one owned by the state which very few people use. the bank one is the most popular, and it used to work fine on custom roms. i think that support got worse once they started adding more hardware-backed security.
i don't have the mental energy to fight it at this point, but if i did i'd try to run the state-backed one on sailfish just to see what happens.
Japan apparently has the same problem. It definitely has that probably using a phone to scan the id card to use various services (which is why I run stock android, mostly, with transit passed and banking being the other reasons).
I say apparently because I have zero interest in having the id on my phone itself.
Rooting apparently makes FELICA not work which is super inconvenient in Japan.
Swedish BankID and most banking apps work on grapheneos and lineageos. The only exception I know of is Revolut that just refuses to work on grapheneos.
The current German "Ausweisapp" also works on GrapheneOS.
I have a USB Cards reader. Works great and only cost 30 bucks.
