> I would love to see government IDs be available as a form of auth on the internet

This kind of already exists: https://login.gov

I have to use this to login to the VA.

It'd certainly be interesting if they opened it up so third-parties could use it for authentication.

Oh, please no, unless those third parties used it as an option for authentication rather than the only means of authentication.

Totally this. I should've made that explicit in my post. Thanks for pointing it out.
