Singpass is Singapore's national digital identity, a single login for over 2,700 government and private-sector services run by GovTech. Launched in 2003 for e-government authentication, it gained a mobile app in 2018 and biometric Face Verification in 2022. Its Myinfo locker (from 2016; Myinfo for businesses from 2018) lets users consent to auto-fill forms with government-verified personal data. GovTech reports roughly 5 million users, 4.2 million+ on the app, and over 41 million transactions monthly.
