Smart-ID meets Apple Watch!
We’re thrilled to announce that the Smart-ID electronic identity solution is now available on Apple Watch!
The new feature will allow Apple Watch users to both authenticate and sign electronically, e.g., when working on a computer and having no smartphone at hand.
The new feature is as secure and intuitive as on smartphones. Apple Watch will display a flow of transactions, like PIN entry dialogue to confirm the transaction when using Smart-ID. The risk of changing or deleting the user’s account information from the watch is eliminated. For enhanced security, Smart-ID users on Apple Watch are advised to set a passcode on the watch. The feature will only be usable in tandem with a smartphone where the Smart-ID app is installed. This means that both the phone and the Apple Watch should be connected to the same WiFi or Bluetooth.
“Expanding Smart-ID to Apple Watch marks a significant milestone in our commitment to user convenience and accessibility.
In response to the wishes of our valued users, we’ve introduced Apple Watch support for the Smart-ID app, enhancing the ease of electronic signing and authentication. Here’s what you need to know:
✅ No separate app installation needed.
✅ To use this feature, you must have the Smart-ID app installed on your paired device.
✅ For added security, set a passcode on your watch.
