Hi Tee Chess,
DeleteNot sure you still concern about this but I would like to share you about this.
First, the Digital ID is free from some supplier such as comodo as above.
We can generate our ID for 1 year, after that time we must submit another ID, this is the limit.
If we pay for them, the period can be longer. (5 years...)
The constraint Internet Explorer (IE) is the requirement of provider when we do our steps to claim. After you get your digital ID, you can use it on any environment.
Hope this help you.
Thanks,
Best Regards
