Switzerland narrowly approves plan for digital ID

If I can’t do things with my physical ID that my digital ID allows me to do, then that means the government lied on them being equivalent to one another.

And how should a physical ID work for SSO logins?

Just because different companies may have been contracted to create the IDs doesn’t change the fact that they are both government issued documents. Same if they are delivered by different departments.

No, because the ID-Austria as well as the E-ID and E-ID (Germany) are not documents. They are a IDP services.

I am just saying that on principle, if any government says that digital ID is not mandatory but then prevent people who don’t want to opt in to from working, then the government lied

That’s a good point.

Increasingly, there are a lot of places that don’t accept cash, when it should be accepted everywhere when it’s in reasonable amounts. To me, this is the same form of discrimination.

That’s an entirely different topic and I agree that is worrying, and I have my own terrible experience (Amsterdam) with it, but at least here in Austria every shop needs to accept cash.
