Hrobjartur Arnason on 19 Dec 13"In 2010, Denmark introduced NemID, which is a joint internet banking login and digital signature system. When NemID is used, either for online banking or for digital signature purposes, the user must enter a secret password on a Java applet (webpage), followed by a six-digit one-time-password (OTP) code from a printed card (the card with about 140 codes is distributed by postal mail). NemID is used by all Danish banks, and this ensured that a large fraction of the Danish population adopted NemID in 2010. Currently, about 3.5 million Danes have NemID (almost 80% of the Danish population above 15 years), and 2.9 million have activated the digital signature part (it is possible to use NemID only for internet banking, by refusing to accept the "digital signature" part)."
