Something is fishy with invoking bankid:// from the native browser indeed.
(Makes me think about when QR code reading didn’t work and i added a url-handler for that, not only on the phone itself, but on my desktop to ssh that over to the phone… that instruction should be around here somewhere i think).
But for expediency i just used Android Firefox now, and everything Just Worked™.

Thanks! I didn’t even think about adding another f*****g android app.
At the first opportunity to make an open client for the government eID, i’ll take some serious time off from work if that is what it takes to make one happen. BankID needs to die post haste.

I agree. I don’t have much money, but will support in any other way possible.
Moving the discussion to a better thread.
I guess that depends on what you mean. I read somewhere here that you needed Bluetooth all sorts of nonsense. Maybe it was some sort of transfer, or silly app based stuff. Hard to know.
How current is this information?
If you mean activating from the bank webpage (which is hopefully still a thing - but for how much longer?) then the oldschool pin pad is probably all the backup i want/need.
I was referring to the last time I activated BankID on my X. I could thus identify myself with the BankID app I already had on my backup Android device. The device I had been using all along, before I got it to work in AAS.
My bank gives me the opportunity to register up to three BankID units.
Please fill in then blanks and don’t leave me guessing.
How did the activation actually happen? How long ago was this?
Well, it’s some time ago… Swedish Bank-ID/Swish - #44 by eson
My bank (ICA Banken) made me activate (logged in on web page) a second registration via my first mobile one. Of course there was also the pin pad choice.

I have an idea. Why don’t we all report Finansiell ID-Teknik BID AB to diskrimineringsombudsmannen (DO), because they don’t provide BankID for Linux users?
To me, it smells of discrimination from afar.
I would think that the more people who report, the greater the chance that they will actually investigate it.
Edit:
My registration has now been submitted.

Welcome to the dystopia of free enterprise.
I have contacted Konkurrensverket both 2020 and 2022, and the relevant ministers on both Sweden and EU level. As well as DIGG.
I know, I was also engaged in another campaign, 6 or 7 years ago, but that didn’t include discrimination. So I thought a mass campaign from this angle, could be worth trying.
I mean, it doesn’t cost anything, except a few minutes typing.
Edit:
I can even share my submission (.docx version) as inspiration or template for those who want to help, though I’m sure you can do it better then me.
An update for those of you that maybe have Skandiabanken as bank.
Now it is possible to get an bank-id without NFC. I called the bank and they’ve sent me a piece of paper to sign and return. They offered to send it to Kivra - what a joke - since I can’t login without bank-id…
But anyhow, good 'ol paper also works over snail-mail. Just takes longer.
Always something…
Oh yeah, after returning the form it take up to 4-5 business days and after that no nfc confirmation through national id or passport is needed. Somehow they disable that requirement.

Thanks, even though I don’t have Skandiabanken as bank. Mine is probably worse then that (ICA Banken).
What I would like to see is a serious proposal for a bank that is customer-oriented. That is, a bank for ordinary people without millions in savings accounts.
I had Forex bank, which I think was good but forced, by the big bank mafia, was sold to ICA Bank without no saying of mine.
I really want go else where, but don’t know where to go. In Sweden they are fucking all the same shit. 
Exactly my story eson, I wanted to change from Skandiabanken, which by the way I used to think was slightly better than the old brick and mortars (swedb, nordea, handels etc). I started up with Forex and was pretty happy with that one, preparing to move the rest and close down Skandia. Big surprise when I suddenly was handed over to ICA. Thanks, but no thanks. So until now I’ve stayed with Skandia.

I think you already know that Forex was forced by the four big to accept their BankID policy, and therefore were forced to introduce the same customer fees (and rules) as they themselves.
That was what made Forex to shut down.
Those fuckers, lead by SEB (Wallenberg) is ruling our country along with the politician pack.
If you ask me, that is the definition of fascism.
I don’t expect any of you guys to react on my posts, like the above, because I know it is downright dangerous. I just want you to think independently.
Me… I’m old and already poor. They can’t hurt me very much.
New to this forum and this is the 1st thread I look at after how to enable dev mode 
Cool to see that people get Bank-ID and Freja to work. Will get at it now as I just received my Jolla C2 
I like good instructions and will try to post one once done.
I also already contacted BankID regarding Linux/Sailfish support and will continue to lobby Could be a good idea to gather signatures at one point from the Jolla community.
IMO the better option is to give up on commercial solutions and make sure the government eID (which is supposedly coming in the next few years) lives up to platform-independent accessibility standards, like all public services should. Private interests has no business handling my government-issued id and should ideally not exist.
But until then i cross my fingers and hope i can get another activation to go through.

Fully agree that those commercial actors do pose a problem. Problem is that government initiatives usually take time and are not the first ones showing up on the arena
In the meantime, commercial actors should in my view be encouraged (also by the government) to openess towards alternatives to Android and iOS, like Sailfish.
Looking forward to the government eID!
