If you are uncertain of what version your service is using, have a look at the URL your service calls to. The latest version URL is: https://appapi2.test.bankid.com/6.0.
If the URL ends with 5.0 or 5.1, you are using a version that will be closed after summer.
In our technical guide you can find more information about the animated QR code and instructions on how to implement it.
Autostart is used when the customer visits your online services on the same device as they keep their Mobile BankID on. From your service, the BankID app is started without any middle steps. This makes the identification faster and gives a better user experience. Further, it enhances security by eliminating other steps that could be used by scammers.
How autostart works:
The customer selects "BankID on same device" in your service.
The BankID app is opened automatically.
The customer give their approval in the BankID app.
Secure start means that you need to use the latest version of BankID in your company's e-services. Doing so means that you need to:
Remove the step where customers enter their personal identity number in your e-services.
Display an animated QR code that the customers scan, if the customers use BankID on another device.
Start BankID automatically on the same device by using autostart.
