Yeah, I am interested if our identification service ItsMe here in Belgium works on the FP6 on /e/ or on calyx. That app is used for everything that needs identification.

Used to live in Belgium, I still have itsme and it works like a charm. I sometimes use it to authorise big transactions from my KBC account. The KBC app also works perfectly, BTW, which I still use because the online services of German banks mostly suck.

FP4 with /e/OS

I can install and start the setup of ItsMe just fine on grapheneos, but I'm not Belgian so I can't actually log in.

The logging on function is the one that even Belgians have trouble with on supported hardware sometimes because of like the 5 step authentication process ๐Ÿ˜‚ hard to say, but it is already positive that it doesn't instantly flag it.

Ah damn that sucks, can't really test that part as a Dutchman myself :)
