What Is Freja eID? The Key To Your Digital Life In The Form Of A Mobile App!
Wouldn’t it be great if the technology used by banks or government agencies to deal with digital identities and protect sensitive data was available to everyone?
Do you like the idea of being able to access various online services without the need to remember all those annoying passwords?
Well, then you’re in luck…
…because that’s what Freja eID is about! Simply put, this electronic equivalent to a regular (physical) proof of identity provides for seamless, hassle-free, safe and secure people-to-people or people-to-services identification across the vastness of the internet.
Freja originated at Verisec. The company announced a name change to Freja eID Group AB in 2020; older descriptions of Verisec’s offices and corporate structure should be read in that historical context.
Digital Life: Easy & Secure
The moment your ID card is generated in the app (it’s free to download!), you can not only access online services and identify yourself or other people but also make electronic signatures and control who gets your personal data.
While using your PIN instead of passwords definitely helps you introduce yourself to web-based companies in a much smoother and safer way, doing it with your phone’s biometrics (Touch/Face ID on iOS or fingerprint on Android) makes life even easier.
Wonder if your PIN can be stolen?
A PIN can be exposed or compromised; no identity app makes that impossible. Freja provides a PIN-reset process and an emergency blocking service. If you suspect misuse, follow the current Freja support guidance.
Flexibility to have more than one username…
… is another benefit that gives you an opportunity to link up to three emails and/or mobile phone numbers to your Freja ID. You can use them all in accordance with your preferences deleting and replacing them with others if needed.
It’s also worth mentioning that this e-ID solution works on multiple mobile devices, therefore once you become a happy owner of the latest smartphone or tablet, your Freja can be easily added onto it with the help of your old device.
How Can I Get It?
Simply download it from the App Store or Google Play, which is free of charge. The registration process is really quick and uncomplicated: choose your country and submit an email address making sure you can check your inbox for confirmation.
The next step is to add a valid ID document…
Registration levels and accepted identity documents determine which services are available. Follow Freja’s current registration instructions; email-only registration does not provide the same access as a verified identity.
Now you can log in to My Pages section not only in order to take a look at the data you’ve entered but also to tailor account settings to your own needs by enabling or disabling access to specific services.
Review the identity and action shown in the app before approving a request. Security features do not guarantee that every attempted misuse will be prevented or immediately detected.
Freja eID in the iGaming Industry
It comes as no surprise, such an easy-to-use and secure state-of-the-art tool generates interest across our industry, which has always been at the forefront of modern technologies. Faster, simpler, and what’s the most important, entirely digital sign-up procedure – isn’t that what all casino players want?
Freja announced its Videoslots agreement on 13 January 2020. That is a historical integration announcement, not proof that every player can use Freja at Videoslots today. Check the options offered for the account and jurisdiction.
Acceptance by online casinos depends on the operator. Availability of an electronic identity service does not establish that a casino is licensed for a player’s location.
