A DOGE-affiliated official has been appointed to oversee Login.gov, the U.S. government’s centralized identity and login platform, as the service moves toward integrating driver’s license and passport data into a unified federal identity system.
Greg Hogan will serve as acting assistant commissioner of the Technology Transformation Services (TTS), a unit within the General Services Administration (GSA), according to an internal email sent to TTS staff in April 2026. Gregory Barbaccia, the federal chief information officer and acting TTS director, wrote that Hogan will focus on expanding Login.gov’s user base with the goal of making it “a world-class identity platform recognized beyond the federal government.”
Hogan joined the federal government in January 2025 from Comma.ai, a car self-automation startup, where he served as VP of Infrastructure. He previously held the role of CIO at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), where he signed off on a privacy impact assessment that enabled a new email server DOGE used to send government-wide messages — including the “Fork in the Road” email encouraging federal employees to accept deferred resignations. That email server later became the subject of a lawsuit alleging OPM violated the law by not publishing the privacy assessment before launch. He subsequently joined the National Design Service, run by Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia, before his current appointment.
Launched in 2017, Login.gov allows users to access multiple federal agencies through a single account. A December 2025 road map outlined plans to incorporate mobile driver’s licenses and passports into the service. One anonymous TTS employee told WIRED the push is effectively to make Login.gov “a national ID” that would store income information, citizenship status, and dependent data alongside standard identification.
That prospect has drawn mixed reactions internally. One TTS employee expressed concern that with a DOGE-affiliated figure in charge, the platform could become “a central repository for surveillance.” A second employee was more measured, saying Hogan “puts a lot of emphasis on listening to the career feds who work for him.”
Although DOGE formally dissolved in June 2025 following Elon Musk’s departure from government, many of its former operatives continue to hold influential roles across federal agencies. GSA did not respond to a request for comment.
