How do I log in with the DigiD app?
Logging in with the DigiD app can be done in two ways:

1. On your phone or tablet you log in with just a pin code.
2. Or log in on a computer using the app. You take over a verification code, scan a QR code and then enter your pin code.

DATA PROCESSING & PRIVACY

The DigiD app processes the IP address, the name and version of the operating system of your smartphone or tablet, the unique identifier of the mobile device, your mobile phone number and the 5-digit PIN code you select.

Ratings and reviews

The ID scan doesn't work, making login almost impossible if you happen to lose your phone#. I can't receive SMS messages to login to the app or online (and there's no option to send a code via email). I just got a letter with an activation code to allow login without SMS. But! There is nowhere in the app to input the code. I can login from my laptop, but I can't update my phone# bc the verification still goes to my old phone (or the app, which I still can't access). Ridiculously dysfunctional.

It doesn't redirect to the app anymore on mobile device (selecting option Op dit apparaat to log in results in a defunct page telling you to download the app). cleared all browsing history, cookies, and cache as I thought that was the problem but still not working. I need to use a second device every time I want to log in somewhere that needs DigiD authentication, making it a massive hassle, especially when I'm on the road. The issue has been going on for nearly a month now. An update is needed.

DigiD requires a very very well working internet connection just to log in. Such a connection often isn't available in other countries, in their hotels. So it times out and no matter how many times you try it never works. So it's broken beyond repair when you need it the most. While there is no technical need for this, every https site does encryption without a fuss. But not this app! Once you get past this obstacle, sometimes never, it works.
