How to log on and authenticate with MitID code display

The MitID code display is a small electronic device that serves as an alternative to the MitID app. The code display shows a one-time code when you press its button. You must enter this one-time code when you log in or approve an action using MitID.

The MitID code display is designed for users who do not wish to use the MitID app on their phone or tablet. You may also choose to have MitID available in several places for example, both on your phone and on the MitID code display. That way, you always have a backup and can still approve with MitID even if, for instance, you lose your phone with the MitID app installed.

How to use your MitID code display

When you need to log in or approve something with the MitID code display, you must first enter your user ID and a 6-digit one-time code from the device. Then enter your password, and you have now approved with MitID.

Step by step guide

  1. Go to the website or app where you want to log in or approve with MitID and find the Log in button.
  2. Enter your user ID and click Continue. You created your user ID when you first got MitID. You will need it every time you log in or approve with MitID.
  3. Note that the first time you use the MitID code display, you must choose to approve with it in the future. After entering your user ID, tap 'Change MitID identification method' and select MitID code display.
  4. Read what you are about to approve with MitID. If the text does not match what you want to do, tap Cancel.
  5. Press the button on your MitID code display. Hold the device so that the button is on your left. The MitID code display will turn on and show you a 6-digit one-time code.
  6. Enter the 6-digit one-time code from the code display on the screen and tap Continue.
  7. Then enter your password. You created this password when you activated your MitID code display.
  8. You are now logged in with MitID.

Be aware of this before you confirm

As you enter your code and confirm, you are completing an important step in a process, e.g. transferring money.

If the text you are confronted with does not match your expectations, you should cancel your action immediately

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.
