🪪Digital ID is a secure way to prove who you are online.
It uses verified credentials to confirm it's really you. For even stronger protection against unauthorised access connect your Digital ID & turn off your password to sign into your myGov account.

🔑Passkeys are a more secure alternative to passwords.
They help protect against phishing scams & can't be stolen or guessed. Use your fingerprint/face/PIN to sign in. If you use a passkey, turn off your password & make your account safe from cybercrime.
