If you cannot scan QR codes, for example if you have a visual or mobility impairment, or if the camera on your phone is broken, there is an alternative, namely a one-time code which you must enter in your MitID app before you can swipe and approve 

To begin with, the MitID app is set to scan QR codes. You must therefore change the settings in the MitID app (under the menu 'Approve using QR or one-time code') if you want to use one-time codes. It takes 24 hours from when you have requested the change until you are asked to confirm the change, and it then takes effect. This is due to the fact that it is a change to a personal setting, which for security reasons takes 24 hours to implement.
