Greg Hogan will oversee Login.gov as the government seeks to integrate driver’s license and passport information into the service, making what one insider calls “a national ID.”Greg Hogan, an associate of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been appointed as the acting assistant commissioner of the Technology Transformation Services (TTS), a division of the General Services Administration (GSA). In this role, he will supervise Login.gov, the government’s secure login and identity service. Gregory Barbaccia, the federal chief information officer and acting director of TTS, communicated to the TTS team via email that Hogan’s primary objective will be to expand the user base of Login.gov, with the ultimate aim of the service becoming a globally recognized identity platform, not just within the federal government.
Until earlier this year, TTS was under the leadership of Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer. During Shedd’s tenure, TTS experienced a significant staff reduction, losing half of its employees in the early months of 2025. Hogan joined the government in January 2025, transitioning from a startup named Comma.ai, which specializes in self-automation technology for vehicles. He held the position of CIO at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during DOGE’s infiltration of the agency, which subsequently became a key hub in its government takeover in early 2025.
While at OPM, Hogan approved the privacy impact assessment that facilitated the establishment of a new email server. This server was used by DOGE to disseminate some of its most notorious government-wide emails, including the controversial “Fork in the Road” message, which urged employees to opt for a “deferred resignation” and exit the government. Another email requested government employees to report their weekly tasks—DOGE later utilized AI to analyze the responses. This email server later became the subject of a lawsuit filed by federal employees, alleging that OPM had breached the law by not disclosing the privacy impact assessment prior to the server’s launch.
According to Hogan’s LinkedIn profile, he retained his position as VP of Infrastructure at Comma.ai until October 2025, concurrently with his tenure at OPM. In September, Hogan left OPM to join the National Design Service, led by Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, who also has ties with DOGE. The GSA has yet to comment on the matter.
Login.gov, launched in 2017, was designed to provide individuals with a single, secure account for accessing services and information across various government agencies. The platform was partially developed by the US Digital Service, now known as the US DOGE Service. In December 2025, Login.gov unveiled a roadmap outlining plans to incorporate mobile drivers’ licenses into the service and to use passports as a means of identity verification. The roadmap repeatedly emphasized the service’s potential in combating fraud, a key focus of the Trump administration.
A TTS employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed the belief that there is a drive to transform Login.gov into a national ID, storing all necessary information for any government interaction, including standard ID details, income information, citizenship status, and information on dependents.
