   The Swiss Postal Service want me to sign up for SwissID, a third party login provider. Apparently the Swiss Railways aren soon to follow. Meaning we will have a private company accumulating the login data of a majority of the Swiss population. Of couse they'll only use this data to improve your user experience and provide you with personalized offers. Ah, and they will share the data with third parties....

   I read the Terms of Service and the Privacy Agreement and I don't agree.

      @beni I'm not aware of that. Have you some external information about it?

         @beni I mean, I know it as a non mandatory feature.

         @igor They're not saying that it's mandatory. They just keep sending mails nagging me to sign up. https://www.post.ch/en/business/a-z-of-subjects/swissid-your-digital-identity

               @igor to follow up on this: the postal service really wants me to sign up to SwissID, they just sent me a "final email", telling me that I will no longer be able to log in using the old credentials...

                  @beni Oh, how uncool it is! What for do you need a postal service web account? I understand that you don't mean a PostFinance account.

                     @igor if a parcel wasn't delivered because I wasn't home and I want my wife to pick it up from the PO, I have to use the account to authorize her to do so. Sometimes I also buy electronic stamps.

                        @beni Ok, I understand. It's actually a pitty ot see what was a public service to force users to connect through a private third service such SwissID. :(
