What you get
Once set up, you can use this certification to access government and banking websites with a simplified login process, reducing the need for complex passwords or extra hardware.
What it costs you
There is no monetary fee to use the service, but you will need to undergo an identity verification process through your bank account to set it up.

While it is widely used, this certification is not accepted by every single government agency yet, so you may still need traditional login methods for some specific services.
