The new update to MitID phases out activation codes to reduce the risk of fraud. If an activation code is obtained by a criminal, they can create a new MitID app, code display, audio code reader or chip and gain full control over the user's MitID.
Therefore, the latest version of MitID has phased out activation codes for the MitID app, and with the newest version, the activation codes for MitID code display, audio code reader and chip are also phased out.
Activation of MitID code display, audio code reader, and chip
From today, it will no longer be possible to obtain an activation code for a MitID code display, audio code reader or chip through the self-service solution on MitID.dk or via the MitID app.
If you want to activate a MitID code display, audio code reader or chip from now on, you can do so via passport and facial scanning in the MitID app. You can also borrow someone else's smartphone if you don't have one yourself. Additionally, you can activate a MitID code display, audio code reader or chip at a Citizen Service Center.
The flow in the MitID app has also become shorter and more user-friendly.
The menu in the MitID app has received a makeover
As more and more self-service options have been added to the MitID app, the menu in the app has gradually become longer. Therefore, the menu is now getting a makeover to make it more intuitive to navigate, so users can more easily access the many features and self-service options in the MitID app.
