By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 23/07/2026The first step is that you authenticate with Login.gov, which *sends a text to your phone* so you can take a (redundant) picture of your driver's license. There is *no way* you could get this far in the process unless you controlled the phone number you've just "verified" with the system. 34/ 1110
