This sure sounds like a frightening statement. I'm glad I don't feel that way.
You do not know the half of it.
In Sweden we are a very digital society and this we have BankID, which is an private organisation. The idea is that Banks validate your ID which then allows BankID to issue a certificate to a device (application) and allows you to Authenticate yourself digitally on the majority of the Swedish services.
Like ;
- banking/insurance/loans
- shopping
- Car ownership
- sites for private trading of physicals goods
- groceries
- parking
and much more.
While there competitors like FrejaEID its not mush against the dominator BankID. BankID Mobile (the most common form) is only available for Apple IOS and for Google Android officially. There used to be a Linux client but it get discontinued and there is a windows client available is for enterprise purposes and requires a physical card.
Being somewhat young in Sweden today you REQUIRE your phone this sole purpose, to house and App to be able to Authenticate.
