Changes to Swedish BankID sessions on iOS devices

THIS NOTIFICATION APPLIES TO:
Customers using Signing and Identification Services

PERIOD:

DESCRIPTION:
We have updated the Swedish BankID sessions for iOS devices. The redirect from the app to the browser will now occur via the return_url.

CONSEQUENCE:
Support for return_url has been introduced for iOS devices. This ensures that the BankID security app automatically redirects users back to the browser. The user experience remains unchanged from the previous implementation with redirect_url. Key behaviours are as follows:

1. On iOS devices, when using the BankID security app on the same device, the app will always open the default browser once the user completes the authentication, regardless of whether the transaction was initiated in a non-default browser.

2. Also, the BankID security app will open a new tab in the default browser, and the process will continue seamlessly.
   This change was originally planned for April 23 but had to be rescheduled.
