<p>Verify continues to work well, supporting 19 services. More than 8 million Verify
accounts have been created, with over 2.3 million added since the start of the pandemic
as citizens accessed critical online services.</p><p>Building on the lessons and experiences
of Verify, and as we announced in last year's Spending Review, the Government Digital
Service is collaborating with other departments - including the Department for Work
and Pensions, HMRC and Home Office - to develop a new login and identity assurance
system that will make it easier for more people to use online services safely. While
this new system is being developed, users and connected services will continue to
rely on GOV.UK Verify. The Government has therefore decided to extend the current
Verify service, enabling new users to sign up until April 2022.</p><p> </p>
