This is a joke, right? Although I wouldn't be surprised if the prolonged use of the DigID app (i.e. because it keeps crashing, or is offline for maintenance again) would have caused maniacal insanity. Edit: The app works most of the time, but it is very unstable and not at all user friendly. No QR-code scanning feature but manual code input only, no login confirmation, no active session management or insight, most services allow you to log in with just your username/password and don't require the app at all, etc.

I have honestly no complaints about digID. I don't use it much but when I do it just works.

  But to call it "a complete pleasure to use"?
  - polytely 5y ago
    I mean, I feel like the main requirement of it needing to be secure is basically incompatible with pleasure. I think it is about as pleasurable it can be.

It definitely has a QR-code scanning feature, I used it about half an hour ago to log in to a couple of things.

  Not on Android DigiD app version 5.18.1 (822), I just checked. The "koppelcode" can only be copied manually.

    I guess i can understand wanting a second QR code instead of the 4 character koppelcode, but it seems hard for me to say that it's difficult or time-consuming to enter it.

    ah, the koppelcode needs to be manually entered, but then the next step is to scan a QR-code (Android, latest app version, but it's been like that for a long time afaik) I do wonder why that code has to be manual and not embedded into the QR code, I assume there's some reason for it. But it's also only four letters, not terribly tedious.
