Frequently Asked Questions

You can still use Smart-ID even if your smart device does not display Smart-ID notifications. Let’s say you’d like to log in to your bank account:

  • Open your bank app or online banking through a web browser
    Choose Smart-ID as your login method and type in login data. Click OK/Continue/Enter to log in.
  • Normally, you should get an automatic notification on your smart device screen alerting you to the login process. If it does not happen, open the Smart-ID app manually by clicking on the app thumbnail on your screen.
  • You should now see the confirmation code and be prompted to enter the PIN.
  • If you already have your Smart-ID app open and still do not see the confirmation code nor the option to enter the PIN-numbers, click on the Smart-ID logo within the Smart-ID app – you should now be able to check the confirmation code and enter PIN.
