A survey of more than 12,000 consumers has revealed that three-quarters of the British public supports digital IDs. The research conducted by Okta also suggests digital verification could soon be on the cards, but that government and commercial organisations must ensure data privacy concerns are addressed. The survey found 76% are comfortable having some of their data incorporated into a digital ID, with 57% saying it was easier and 37% saying all their information would be in one place. A further 35 said it would be harder to lose, and 29% felt their personal data would be more secure compared with 24% who do not want a digital ID as they fear their data wouldn’t be secure.
