1. A method for validating a digital identity of a user, the method comprising:
receiving, at an identity network from a relying party, a device identifier for a device of the user and a validation request providing first identity attributes of the user and first attribute information associated with the first identity attributes provided to the relying party by the user to verify a digital identity of the user;
identifying, by the identity network, an identity provider associated with the device of the user, wherein the identity provider is different from the identity network;
launching, by the identity network using a software development kit of an application of the relying party, an application of the identity provider using a link associated with the identity provider;
receiving, by the identity network from the identity provider, confirmation that the user has successfully logged into the launched application of the identity provider to authenticate the digital identity of the user;
obtaining, by the identity network, second identity attributes and second attribute information associated with the second identity attributes provided by the identity provider;
generating, by the identity network, a confidence score indicating a confidence that the user is an owner of the digital identity based at least in part on a comparison of the first and second identity attributes, and the first and second attribute information, of the user; and
providing, by the identity network, the confidence score to the relying party.
