The End of Password Overload: Israel Launches a Single Digital Identity and National Certificate Wallet
Published
The Israeli government has announced a new initiative aimed at simplifying citizens' identification on the internet and in digital services. Under the initiative, citizens will be able to log in to many government service websites using a single form of identification, instead of having to remember numerous passwords and upload photos of their identity cards to each site.
The new system will also include a national digital wallet. In this wallet, official certificates can be stored digitally, such as an identity card and other certificates. According to the announcement, use of the wallet will be secure, and the citizen will decide which details to share with each party. The goal is to make interaction with the state more convenient and to save time and bureaucracy.
At this stage, full details have not been released about the date on which the system will be fully launched or about all the services that will be included in it. Government ministries are expected to continue publishing additional information in the future. In the meantime, citizens are asked to continue using the existing identification methods.
The initiative is intended to help citizens in their everyday lives and to expand the state's digital services. Citizens are advised to follow official announcements from government ministries to learn when the service will be available and how to use it.
