Ok, on one hand we finally get a db of all the vampires & other such immortals, but fuck this anti-privacy shit.
The article doesn’t mention how it works, if the app is “offline” (more akin to mfa), just that it doesn’t forward your data to sites.
However:
It’s positioned as a temporary solution that will be superseded by the EU Digital Identity Wallet that’s expected to launch in 2026, which aims to provide a way for “European citizens, residents and businesses to prove who they are when accessing digital services” and a place to “safely store, share and sign important digital documents.”
Afaik the digital wallet’s goal is still to have online anonymity for stuff like third parties.
But why are we doing this app if it will get so little use (maybe they’ll refuse same APIs later with the wallet?)?

Seems to be modeled on the Scandinavian countries BankID that is a well working solution.
