Description

Enables users to authenticate using BankID, the Norwegian national digital identity solution. BankID is the preferred first-time login method across all partner organisations and provides verified identity, reducing onboarding friction for users already familiar with it from banking. The OAuth-based flow redirects the user to the BankID provider, returns an identity token, and links the verified identity to the user's Meander account. A key side benefit is the ability to retrieve and store the user's national identity number (personnummer) in the member system.

Analysis

Business Value

BankID authentication was explicitly requested by all three workshop organisations as the preferred initial login method. It removes password friction for returning users, provides strong identity verification without manual KYC, and crucially returns the user's personnummer to the member system — a long-standing data gap for NHF, Blindeforbundet, and HLF. This integration directly supports regulatory compliance and simplifies Bufdir reporting by linking verified identities to activity records. Implementing BankID positions Meander as a professional, trustworthy platform in the Norwegian public sector landscape.

Implementation Notes

Implemented as an OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flow using a certified Norwegian BankID broker (e.g., Criipto or BankID Norge). The Flutter app opens the BankID flow in a secure in-app browser (flutter_web_auth or app_links for deep-link callback). The backend exchanges the authorization code for an identity token, extracts the personnummer, and either creates a new account or links to an existing one. The BankID provider adapter is abstracted behind an interface to allow swapping brokers. Monthly cost (350–750 NOK) must be distributed across partner organisations. Sandbox environment available for testing without real BankID credentials.
