It's also worth noting that BankID requires access location permission access (at least on Android).

Wait - BankID requires an Android or iOS app in Sweden? Sounds cumbersome. Here in Norway BankID is a SIM application that follows your SIM card regardless of OS or if you swap your phone. So you could basically stick your SIM in a stone age cell phone and still use your BankID.

No you can use it on a PC too.

On iOS it's optional with the explanation, "Increase your BankID security by allowing location." Yeah, nah.

I've always had it turned off, never had an issue.

I never have location services turned on and use bankid all the time.

On Android.
