Prefilled input fields

In some login flows, user-specific data other than actual login details are needed to complete the authentication.

Examples include the CPR number in Denmark for personal NemID and SSN (“personnummer”) in Sweden for BankID on another device.

By default the user is prompted for this data when needed, but if you would like to avoid these dialogs, you can specify the values up-front in the request for authentication, via the login_hint query parameter. This works for both OpenID Connect and WS-Federation.

The actual support for controlling the input data varies by e-ID method:

  1. Danish NemID: Use login_hint=sub:<CPR> where <CPR> has the format DDMMYYXXXX
  2. Swedish BankID: Use login_hint=sub:<SSN> where <SSN> has the format YYYYMMDDXXXX
  3. Norwegian BankID Mobile: Use login_hint=BIM:<PHONENUMBER>:<BIRTHDATE> where <PHONENUMBER> has 8 digits and <BIRTHDATE> has the format DDMMYY
  4. Norwegian BankID Kodebrikke: Use login_hint=BID:<SSN> where <SSN> has the format DDMMYYXXXXX
  5. Sofort: You can send the data you want to use for pre-selection of the users bank and the Schufa check in a base64-url-encoded JSON structure in login_hint=sofort:<base64-url encoded JSON>. The JSON literal can contain the following properties: 
    {
 "given_name": "HANS-GERD",
 "family_name": "WARNECKE",
 "birthdate": "1953-01-16",
 "street_address" : "ALTENBURGER STR. 10",
 "city": "WOLFSBURG",
 "postal_code": "38444",
 "address_country_id" : "DE",
 "account_country_id" : "DE",
 "bank_code" : "00000"
}

    The stringified and base64-url-encoded variant of this particular example is

    and the corresponding login_hint query parameter and value is thus

    login_hint=sofort:eyJnaXZlbl9uYW1lIjoiSEFOUy1HRVJEIiwiZmFtaWx5X25hbWUiOiJXQVJORUNLRSIsImJpcnRoZGF0ZSI6IjE5NTMtMDEtMTYiLCJzdHJlZXRfYWRkcmVzcyI6IkFMVEVOQlVSR0VSIFNUUi4gMTAiLCJjaXR5IjoiV09MRlNCVVJHIiwicG9zdGFsX2NvZGUiOiIzODQ0NCIsImFkZHJlc3NfY291bnRyeV9pZCI6IkRFIiwiYWNjb3VudF9jb3VudHJ5X2lkIjoiREUiLCJiYW5rX2NvZGUiOiIwMDAwMCJ9
