Like many others, I encountered an endless loop. Followed the instructions per the video. It never worked. I contacted support, they said the card was defective. I bought a new card... Now I am concerned if I do this again it will ruin the new card that I paid for... When will you acknowledge that something is wrong with the app in relation to the ausweis? How much evidence is required?

Did you tried it with the new ID? There is no possibility at all, that an app will destroy your nfc-chip in your card.

the pin, in addition to the physical card, is too complicated. I have been locked out and I don't honestly know why(except maybe because more than 3 years since last use?). so card is useless and correcting it will be even more annoying. at some point you just have to act in trust and audit in other ways. (worked fine for centuries).

Thank you for your feedback. If you have entered your ID PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the PIN will be locked. You can lift this lock in the PIN management section using your PUK. For the best possible assistance, please contact our support experts directly.

The process is a bit complicated. But it is for good reasons. Security does matter! And no issues during the process as such.
