What is scary about it, though? It's really just adding a new way of authenticating on government websites. I like the idea of how it works, but I don't find it very secure, compared to Belgium's chip and pin system for example (this application is the equivalent to Belgium's itsme, which I use often enough).

However it's probably the best we can do in France since we don't want to have a centralised citizens database.

itsme has me really scared about it's security, especially since they are so handwavy about it. I browsed their site for a long time before enrolling, but didn't find anything useful.
What were your concerns about it?
