Miscellaneous about logging in

Altinn code letters have 30 codes. You may have used them all, and if so you need to order a new code letter. If your letter has 20 codes, it's for logging in using the MinID part of ID-porten.

If you have submitted the wrong password or code ten times, you will be locked out from logging in for 1 hour. This does not, however, apply to the ID-porten log-in methods. Thus you can use for example MinID or BankID to log in.

If someone else than you has your log-in information, it's possible for them to log in using your user. To stop them from doing so, you can disable your Altinn code letter and/or password.

The ID-porten log-in methods has their own disabling service.

To disable the Altinn alternative log-in methods, choose Log in → Proceed to alternative log-in methods  and click Disable single-use codes / password.

• By deactivating single-use codes (code letter), the code letter will not work, and you will need to order a new code letter to use this log-in method again.
• By deactivating your password (SMS-code or password only), you will be unable to use the password when logging in. If you use another log-in method, you can enter a new password under Profile → Advanced settings → Login information.
