You can do it, but noboy has so far

What's your assessment of the German eID and AusweisApp2 that has been in use for many years?

[โ€“] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I can say that it works fine for me, although I'm not up to speed regarding its security. I like that it explicitly tells me what kind of data is requested and by whom. The problem here is mainly low adoption. If they rolled the exact thing out EU wide, it would probably gain more traction. It's a joke they have no official Linux support despite having an Android app tho
