What is MitID and what can it be used for?

MitID is a digital ID that is used to access Danish public self-service solutions.

MitID can e.g. be used if you have to apply for an education in Denmark, access your pension information in a Danish pension fund, or if you have been under treatment at a hospital in Denmark and you want to access your journal information.

MitID is primarily an app for smartphones and tablets. With one swipe, you can log in and confirm an action online, for example if you need to transfer money in your online bank or view your tax information in Denmark. You can easily use the MitID app, even if you haven’t used the NemID app before.

The High Commissioners office recommends that citizens who use the MitID app have more than one MitID authenticator. It is a good idea to have MitID installed on more than one device, for example on your smart phone and on your tablet. That way you always have one in reserve, and you will be able to approve transactions with MitID, even if you should lose your phone.

**Alternatives to the app

There are three alternatives to the MitID app: A MitID code display, a MitID audio code reader and a MitID chip. If you cannot use the app, the MitID code display will be a good alternative, while the MitID audio code reader is intended for people with impaired vision. The MitID chip is for those who need to approve and log on with MitID many times daily, e.g. in work-related contexts.

The MitID authenticators can be ordered at MitID.dk and sent to you. The MitID code displays and MitID audio code readers can also be issued at the High Commissioners office.

Once you have received your authenticator, it must be activated before use. **MitID code display

The code display is a small electronic device that displays a one-time password code. Enter the one-time password code, when you log on to confirm your MitID.

The audio code reader is intended for people with impaired vision. The audio code reader will read the one-time password code out loud and display the code on the screen of the device. Enter the one-time password code, when you log on to confirm your MitID.

The MitID chip is a small electronic device equipped with a button that you press when you need to approve and log on with MitID.

It rubs me the wrong way to have to resort to a burner like trash device with less scope/(security) features to handle the most sensitive things.

How about we force everyone to do all that only on Linux instead of Windows when on a desktop? Fuck this infra.

Your country has sold you to american companies

Yeah sorry, should've said Google Play signed app instead

That's great to hear, I think I'm jumping back to graphene

IIRC AA leverages Bluetooth to avoid audio conflicts and to further verify you're connected to the correct vehicle. Some setups use it to know when to power up/power down the vehicle's AA hardware. (At least, I have a dongle that does this, because the car is stupid and allows power to be drawn over its USB port when everything else is off.)

It's optional and not really needed.

Sounds awesome, thank you. I tried it years ago and I'm pretty sure at that point they just said there's no support for it. It was the main holdout for me, never cared about the nfc payments really, so I'm excited to try it out again

I always found the phone inconvenient too and don't like the idea that Google could get a cut of my purchase. I pay cash and if I use the card, I just tap the physical card on the terminal.

considering how backwards of a country it is in a lot of other ways.

Are magnetic strips and signatures still a thing there? And do people still get actual 'pay cheques'?

Blows my mind that you have to do your own taxes there.

That was the default in the UK for quite a while and a lot of (typically older, I think) people still use a physical card for contactless payment. Most people have moved to mobile contactless payment because it’s just as quick as fishing a card out of a wallet, most people always carry their phone and it has a degree of biometric security that the physical card doesn’t. I don’t generally carry a wallet or cash and haven’t for years. I have all my cards in my e-wallet, including my default credit, bank, loyalty and even my work door access cards on there. If I do forget my phone, I can do all their same from my watch and never have to carry a wallet with a dozen pieces of plastic in. A win for pocket space, if nothing else!

It does if you just slip a tap-to-pay enabled bank card in the back of your phone case.

Yes it does, I use it all the time

Cool thanks for the info I'm thinking to get a travel phone with this os on it. Maybe a used pixel 7 or 8

Neither can the US. It would be nigh impossible to avoid all apps from both countries. Luckily Graphene solves this problem through OS hardening and sandboxed profiles. The Chinese don't have some kind of special magic to defeat those measures. This is why Graphene exists IMO

No government can be trusted.

China, the CPC and Xi are a million times more trustworthy than the Trump regime.
