Keep Samleikin safe
Samleikin is your personal eID. Protecting your Samleikin is essential to prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive information and to ensure the security of your online transactions.
It is very important to create a good and safe PIN. Your PIN secures your information and your privacy.
Your Samleikin PIN has to be six numbers. We recommend you avoid
- Series of numbers such as 123456 or 987654
- Your own or your children's birthday
- Your phone number
The PIN must be easy to remember, but difficult to guess. Your PIN is private and secret and must not be shared with others.
Your Samleikin PIN should be as secret as your credit card PIN.
Do not write down your PIN.
Your PIN will not be registered. If you forget your PIN, you have to register Samleikin again.
Please remember your PIN and do not share it with others.
Samleikin is your digital ID, so you should manage it as you would with a passport.
Samleikin is stored on your device. Do not let others access your Samleiki. Samleikin is personal.
Choose a PIN that is easy to remember, but difficult for others to guess. Memorize your PIN, because you will have to use it every time you log in with Samleikin.
