You can choose to register a ConnectID account and later log in to a service based on an existing account in one of the following external services, Facebook, Google, Apple or Vipps. If you register using such external services, a ConnectID account will be created for you with the e-mail address you are registered with on these services. Only the e-mail address you have in the external service will be stored in your ConnectID account, except for Vipps, where your mobile number, name and postal addresses will also be stored.
