Assurance

I think that generalizes nicely, too.  If a bring-your-own-identity will 
work, it's worth strongly considering if it's the right choice.

I think use of a Google, PayPal, Verizon, or other ICAM credential makes more 
sense for these use cases.  Bring your own Identity.  Works for students or 
parents.

More and more schools (brown included) are now in the business of "lifetime 
credentials". Admittedly there are crass business reasons for this ("Brown's 
relationship with you will continue thru probate"). But, there are also other 
reasons (eg ordering transcripts).

My big worry with this plan, tho, derives from my experience with FAFSA forms 
while my daughter was an undergraduate. The forms required lots of financial 
info from the parents. Since this email is in writing... and someone has 
already stated under penalty that she filled out the forms... I'm not going 
to say that I was involved in that process....

but I can certainly imagine that there are lots of situations where the 
parents completely handle the forms and sign on behalf of their child ... 
however, if a federated login is needed in order to access the forms, will 
those credentials really retain their associated LOA ?
