FAQ

Is FriBID an official BankID client?

No, it's not. You use FriBID at your own risk. But we're working to make it fully compatible with BankID.

My e-id is a smart card, can I use it?

Yes, but a few extra steps are required after the installation, see the wiki (in Swedish, unfortunately).

Is it possible to obtain a new e-id with FriBID?

Yes. Please report problems on the forums or on the fribid-user mailing list!

Is it possible to import my e-id from BankID?

Only with e-id files from that have been created with version 4.10 of Nexus Personal or older versions. Such files have the file extension .p12.

Does e-id from Nordea, Telia or SEB work with FriBID?

No, they are incompatible with the BankID system and also FriBID (however, Nexus Personal is also used by Nordea as their e-id software).

Is FriBID secure?

You use it entirely at your own risk, but we're doing our best to make it secure of course.

Where/how are the e-id (certificate) files stored by FriBID?

They are stored in PKCS#12 format in a directory called cbt in your home directory. The official software used to store certificate files here too, up to version 4.10.

How can I check that FriBID is working?

You can do that at the BankID test page.
