Dutch digital identity verification system DigiD has announced the phasing out SMS as second factor. That way they require citizens to install a smartphone app in order to use digital services from the government, municipalities, the health sector and others. These applications only work on iOS and Android phones, with reliance on third party services.

      not only that, DigiD requires activation by NFC scanning your id. If you have a phone without an NFC reader you’re out of luck.

      Even tho I have a phone with a NFC reader, shit doesn’t work.
