In order to verify your ID with the app your phone must have NFC support to scan the passport/id, and on the screen where you do the verification it says: if your phone doesnt have support find a friend with a phone that supports it, I kid you not.. edit, found it in the code: https://github.com/MinBZK/woo-besluit-broncode-digid-app/blo...
I find the DigiD app to be one of the most annoying implementations of 2FA out there. You have to unlock the app with a pin code, then enter an app-generated code on the site, then scan a QR with the app, and then grant permission to login to that site. If you compare that to 2FA for Office 365 for example, where you just have a push notification where you press a button to allow, then you can't help but think that s…
I do appreciate that they keep is so secure (or perhaps I should say, not logged in by default). It works well in general imho.

On desktop, you use pin, type code, then scan. I find the flow quite smooth.
Italy does the same: https://github.com/pagopa/io-app This is the official government app (you can get benefits, pay taxes, etc...), downloaded by 30+ million citizens, stack is React Native + Typescript

Certainly better than in my country where you need to have a windows machine w/ a card reader to use the certificate from the ID card to login.

Question: can you modify, compile, and run that code and still have it work for the same uses?
It would seem so: https://github.com/MinBZK/woo-besluit-broncode-digid-app/blo... The interesting aspect of this is that it can be studied to write clients for platforms that are not officially supported -- currently, only Android and iOS are supported, but it'd be great to see a Linux client too. It's a big shame that history has been rewritten and heavily redacted though. Version control history often has a lot of…
Sounds like it was not voluntary. Also not sure what kind of transparency is expected here, since there is no way to find if the source code published is the same used to build the app. Maybe decompilation is the way to go...
