One-liner
A government app for Brazilians to access public services, but plagued by broken authentication and inconsistent user experience.
Strengths
- Official integration with Brazilian government services (e.g., Meu INSS, Consulado)
- Centralized access point for multiple public services under one app
- Uses biometric authentication (facial recognition) as a security layer
- Available in Portuguese with localized content for Brazilian users
- High keyword ranking for 'acesso' (#11), indicating strong search visibility
Weaknesses
- Frequent failure to deliver access codes or reset passwords ("O código de acesso nunca chega")
- Overuse of facial recognition requiring repeated re-authentication ("obrigada a refazer o reconhecimento facial")
- Inflexible password rules that block valid combinations ("não deixa vc colocar nenhuma senha com vogais e consoantes juntas")
- Login flow is circular and non-intuitive ("fica indo em círculo pedindo reconhecimento facial")
- Users report being forced to recover passwords without initiating the request ("Negocio pede pra recuperar a senha sem a gnt pedir")
Opportunities
- Build a lightweight, privacy-first alternative with persistent login via passkeys or email + 2FA
- Create a browser-based tool that bypasses the app’s broken auth flow for critical services
- Develop a troubleshooting guide or status dashboard for common gov.br issues (e.g., code delivery failures)
- Offer a step-by-step video walkthrough for first-time users struggling with facial recognition
- Integrate with WhatsApp or SMS to deliver access codes directly, reducing dependency on email
Competitors
- Meu INSS
- Receita Federal (App)
- Banco do Brasil Digital
