I looked into this because my country is one of the first ones that's going to test it. At first it sounded completely ridiculous, but the more I read into it, it seems like they are actually really huge on NOT giving out any kind of personal information to the sites.
It's basically just gonna be a middle-man app that's tied to one of your personal identifications (in my case it would be the same app that I use to authorize my bank logins, for example). In the scenario of verifying age for a website, it would then authorize my age, create a token, send the token to the middle-man app, and then that middle-man app would send that token as a "yes, this person is verified to be of-age". There wouldn't be any personal information transferred anywhere or to anyone.
I don't know how to fully feel about it yet, because I'd need to see the final product, but so far it doesn't seem that bad.
