Troubleshooting

Check the number of rectangles

Before you can log-in with the cable attached to the card reader, you will have to install the BankID application and the driver for the card reader.

If the BankID application is already installed on your computer, follow the steps below:

Connect the card reader again, check the number of rectangles shown in the card reader display.
