BankID & Digital Sweden

Life behind a login — signera med BankID, Mina sidor, bli utelåst and identitetskapning.

Digital Sweden runs on one app — this deck walks the whole citizen lifecycle: signing and Mina sidor, the lockout-and-renewal dramas (new phone = new BankID), the fraud chapter that every Swede now knows by heart (lägg på och ring upp själv), the ärende-Swedish of waiting for decisions, and the serious question at the end: digitalt utanförskap.
