How to protect your MitID
No solution can protect you 100% from criminals' attempts at fraud. Here are 5 good tips on what you can do to enhance security when using MitID.
- Never show or share your MitID codes with others.
- Never share your MitID app, code display, audio code reader or chip with others. The app can be shared with others in the household as long as each person has their own user ID and PIN code.
- Never share your user ID with others - except with the MitID Support if you contact them yourself.
- Never share MitID QR codes with others, either by sending screenshots or through screen sharing.
- Always read what you are about to approve with MitID. If the text does not match what you intend to do or if you did not initiate the action yourself, do not approve it.
