The government has decided to extend its flagship identity platform Gov.uk Verify for another two years, according to the Cabinet Office.
This comes after Cabinet Office Parliamentary secretary Julia Lopez said in March 2021 that “all parties are keen to move on from Verify’s over-elaborate expectations trajectory and cost”.
As previously reported by Computer Weekly, the government is making another attempt to create a common digital identity system to be used across all online public services, mandating that departments comply.
