Accessing His Majesty's Government services online
My goodness, all I wanted to do was set up e-mail reminders of vehicle tax, which I'd already managed to pay online. I already have my Government Gateway login details all set up, etc. But, no, I had to go through a whole other palaver involving setting up my GOV.UK One Login mobile app with a new account and photo ID and suchlike, before I could set up those reminders.
I'll give it to them that at least they don't change the system every year but a smoother migration to whatever the critical new functionality is than just
(Of course, I have a separate login for the Scottish Government but that seems reasonable. Accessing any US Federal Government services is a pain without a US cellphone number.)

set up an entirely new accountwould be appreciated.

Yeah, they're transitioning to the new login system. I'm sure I'll get hit with it at some point for the child care funding system. I do wonder why they couldn't use the existing system to feed information into the new one.
