Is it? I thought that was a logical fallacy?

How so?

Could you provide some more details on why you think this? For a start I talked about a scheme in which you don't hand over ID.

Slippery slope can be argumental if you provide the actual argumental reasoning for it as I was thought it could be used as deductive argumentation (though that does not say much). On itself it is a fallacy.

I don't see how verifiable credentials with zero knowledge proofs provide that however.
