I hope it’s within the spirit of the ’Denmark Switches from Big Tech’ campaign to say what I won't switch from.

@CiaraNi @samuel yes, the chip is slightly faster to use usually. It also has better security properties - it's more resistant against fishing due to how it works.
Another very cool thing about it is it works with other websites as a second factor authentication thingie! If they support the "WebAuthn" standard. That I think is a huge plus.

@CiaraNi yea, it's odd. Maybe they didn't get a deal in place early enough to get branded devices? So they had to buy unbranded stock?
From a technical point of view it should be possible to have multiple chips as backup, but as far as I understand it's a policy decision to not allow that. Blows my mind frankly.@reynir I couldn't understand why it was an issue either. The Borgerservice staff were, as always, really helpful, but it was clear that their guidelines say 'app app app'. They kept assuming I just didn't know how to use a smartphone and patiently trying to explain to me how to use an app and update a phone. The request to have two physical code generators and no app was so unusual that they rang mitID HQ halfway through negotiations. We all got there in the end
