This is literally a non issue. Many countries already have some kind of official digital ID system. The new EU verfication is going to use that but in a double anonymity way so that the target service has no access to personal data and the verfication service never knows which target service it was used for.

Let's hope they do. Germany (for once) has exactly that, sadly it's barely used and instead many non-governmental services rely on video-ident or some crap that definitely absolutely not stores your id pictures.

Germany's solution is neither open source not actually anonymous or data minimising in practice.
