A Basic BCeID account is used to log in to services online. People use a username and password.

Overview:

• It is recommended by the OCIO
• You should only have low confidence that the person is who they say they are
• You can use for people representing a business, if you manage which business in your service
• You can only get a unique identifier and a name for the person. The name is whatever the person provides. It could be anything, for example “Mickey Mouse”
