>Yes BankID is the real MVP of digital systems, I heard some talks about the EU making one valid for the whole block.

Sweden is actually in a pickle here. The dominant but private BankID doesn't satisfy all security requirements for the EU's digital identity wallet. It just isn't profitable.

The government is now working on a public government eID with a higher security standard, but many Swedes might still be left out since adoption will take some time.

This is one of many reasons why eIDs shouldn't be run by for-profits corporations, and sadly nothing would likely have happened without pressure from the EU.
