This is not the same as the recently announced digital ID scheme, but it will be secured by the same technology in the GOV.UK One Login app.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s because we\u2019ve built the core technical functionality for a digital wallet into the One Login app as planned. The app has been used by more than 11 million people and meets the highest security standards used across government and the private sector \u2013 so we know people use it and it works well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we add more credentials over time &#8211; like the digital driving licence &#8211; and bring this capability to a bigger group of users, we will transition to talking about it as the GOV.UK Wallet.\u201d \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.com\/2025\/10\/20\/uk_armed_forces_id\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once more into the, er, breach?
