## Description

Efaas is the official Maldives National Digital Identity app that revolutionizes how residents access and manage digital services. It offers a secure, easy-to-use platform enabling password-less and OTP-less authentication through QR code scanning or one-tap login protected by biometrics and multi-factor authentication.

With Efaas, you can conveniently create and use your verified digital ID across multiple online and in-person services. The app empowers users to view their personal government-registered information in one place, manage consent for information sharing with service providers, and receive notifications from public and private agencies. Biometric self-verification using a quick selfie enhances security while simplifying identity verification.

Getting started with your National Digital Identity involves creating an account on efaas.gov.mv, installing the app, completing face verification, and setting a personal PIN. This comprehensive solution, developed by the National Centre for Information Technology, ensures secure and streamlined digital interactions for Maldives residents.

## Review summary

Users like the centralized access to government portals and find the app somewhat user-friendly, but recurring issues dominate. The top complaints are login/authentication problems (OTP delays, 2FA), instability (crashes, restarts, being stuck at approval), and slow performance (long load times). These reliability and accessibility flaws lead to a largely negative overall impression despite the perceived value of the multi-portal solution.

### Pros

- Access to multiple government portals in one app (convenience)
- User-friendly interface for accessing government portals
- Positive mentions like "Great App" / "I like it" indicating some users are satisfied

### Cons

- Login/authentication problems (OTP delivery failures, two-factor verification difficulties, repeated login prompts)
- App instability and crashes (restarts, getting stuck at approval, frequent logouts)
- Slow performance and long loading times (slow servers, takes over an hour to open)
