Safeguard your MitID
- Always keep your user ID and password separate from your MitID code display.
- Never hand over your user ID, codes or MitID code display to anyone else.
- Block your MitID code display, if you lose it. You can do this here at MitID.dk or at a Citizen Service Center.
- Remember that you should never log in or authorise based on phone calls from someone claiming to be from your bank, the police, Citizen Service or support.
