Information security
Here are some basic steps you can take in order to safeguard your security online.
Be vigilant
- Don’t automatically trust the sender – even messages that appear genuine can be spoofed.
- Don’t click on links in unexpected messages – instead, go directly to our website.
- Scammers often create a sense of urgency or fear – for example, by claiming your account is blocked or immediate action is needed.
- We will never ask you to provide your password or BankID via phone, email, or SMS.
Password protection
Your password is personal – never share it with anyone. Protect yourself by:
- Using long, unique passwords – consider using a phrase that cannot be linked to you.
- Enabling multi-factor authentication (also called two-step verification) where possible. This could be biometrics (FaceID or fingerprint) or a one-time code via BankID or an authentication app (such as Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator).
- Changing default passwords on new devices and services.
- Using a password manager to keep track of your passwords.
Keep your systems up to date
- Regularly update your apps and operating system.
- Enable automatic updates where possible.
- Use built-in security features like firewalls and antivirus protection.
Back up regularly
- Set up routines for backing up important files, documents, and photos.
- Store backups separately from your computer (for example in the cloud or on an external drive).
Protect your personal information – prevent identity theft
- Lock your physical mailbox and shred documents containing sensitive information.
- Use secure digital services like Digipost and e-Boks and opt for direct debits and e-invoices.
- Never share your BankID with anyone – not even family members.
