I had the exact opposite experience! I went through a lengthy process of signing up for and activating the weird nonstandard eID that most places don’t accept over the normal one I already have and use for everything, the only one they supported, only to be told I can’t use it without manually contacting the company, have them invalidate my activation and then go into some office to get manually re-activated.
As with everything in the EU, eId needs to be implemented separately by 27 member states and some states do it better than others. I am just lucky to live in a state that does e-government quite well all things considered.
Sure, but this is the thing that really annoys me: my state has really good eID, it just doesn’t work with the EU stuff. It works with literally every other government service, most companies, often as physical ID, for payments, etc etc
