One time password (OTP)

For Authorization of the Norwegian BankID when logging into online banking, and the signing of payment orders with BankID - you will be demanded an One Time Password - OTP.

This OTP application will be able to replace other solutions for the procurement of OTP, such as an OTP generator.

The service can be ordered in the app if you have a BankID in SpareBank 1 and have registered contact information in online or mobile banking. When ordering, you will receive an 8-digit code by SMS and a 4-digit code by email. These codes are only used the first time the application is used. You must choose a personal code that will be used every time a new one-time code is ordered from the application. Follow the instructions in the app after downloading.

Support for blind and partially sighted require installation of SVOX classic engine since the default support for Text-to-speech engine PCOS does not support Norwegian. Download and install Svox classic engine from Google play. When activated you should purchase support for Norwegian and English data inside SVOX.

When installation is completed set default language text to speech before you need to restart the phone.

Android 4.0 and higher contain the function “Explore by touch” that enables easy support for voice over default. This is not supported on earlier versions of Android
