How could they launch this and not support login.gov for the auth...

No Login dot gov

No support in most states

No ACA filers

No app payments

Lots of reason to be frustrated. BUT! This is an absolutely delicious blow to the Intuit lobbyists and if it can handle the simplest of the simple, think of the green light they’ll have towards eventual global parity!

Been so bad (and evil) for so long, I’m in the mood to celebrate more than nitpick. (No Login dot gov I will say is the funniest thing not to be considered MVP - understandable but funny.)

It's in beta. I'll take it

I mean I still login to the VA with DOD credentials or ID.me. They just recently created a VA account specific login. Login.gov is a great idea that won't get any traction because our government's departments are mostly siloed. They quite often just don't even know something is available.
