Can someone fill me in on this required electronic ID thing? What happens if someone doesn't have a phone at all? Kicked out of the country?
You can get a physical one time code generator thing instead for the 2fa part of the digital ID. No phone required.
The one we have in Norway looks like this
Doesn't that depend on the bank? Or is that a Norwegian government thing? In Finland it varies by bank. My wife has a calculator looking thing where you input the code given and it gives you the code to put in, and I have a little plastic number/letter table
Not in Norway or Sweden.
In both countries all the big banks conglomerated to make an eID system and then everyone just accepted it as the default used everywhere.
