What is MoneyAuth?
MoneyAuth is NoveNorth's security solution that protects your account when you sign in or approve payments. Think of it as your digital key that ensures only you can access your NoveNorth account.
How does MoneyAuth work?
- •When you log in or approve a payment, you're asked to confirm via MoneyAuth on your phone.
- •The approval is personal—even if someone knows your password, they can't sign in without MoneyAuth.
- •It works as two-factor authentication (2FA): your password plus your phone.
MoneyAuth vs. MitID – what's the difference?
| MoneyAuth (NoveNorth) | MitID (national eID) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Sign-in and payment approvals within NoveNorth | Sign-in to public services, banks, etc. across Denmark |
| Security | Tied to your NoveNorth account and device; only you can approve | National standard linked to your CPR and verified identity |
| Ease of use | Quick in-app confirmation (one swipe/tap) | Can involve more steps, especially for high-security actions (e.g., passport scan) |
| Focus | Practical security for everyday use in NoveNorth | Broad digital identity across Denmark |
You can think of MitID as your digital passport, while MoneyAuth is your personal security key for NoveNorth.
Why is MoneyAuth important?
