With TK-Ident you can log in to digital health applications.

Features & Capabilities

TK-Ident is a Chrome extension that enables secure authentication for digital health applications using your TK Health ID. Create and use your TK Health ID, log in to TK-Safe, and manage your devices and consents from one place. Access health services conveniently from your smartphone, anytime, anywhere.

Security and ongoing development: Accessing sensitive health data requires high security. TK-Ident uses strict identification methods—online ID with PIN or health insurance card—and periodic re-identification to protect your information. The project adheres to rigorous legal requirements and is continuously improved with user feedback (service@tk.de). Accessibility is a priority, with an accessibility statement available at https://www.tk.de/techniker/2026116.

User Reviews

Users broadly report TK-Ident as buggy and unreliable, especially on GrapheneOS/custom ROMs, with persistent 'Unexpected error' messages and NFC/ID card scanning failures. Privacy and security concerns arise due to reliance on Google's Play Integrity API and US services. Overall usability is poor, featuring a convoluted workflow and repeated errors, and there are few or no workable alternatives for non-standard Android distributions.

Pros

Cons

Incompatibility with GrapheneOS and other custom ROMs; app cannot be used on secure distributions
Frequent 'Unexpected error' or 'an error occurred' messages during registration and use
NFC card scanning / ID card reading fails or stops at 15% despite repeated attempts
Reliance on Google Play Integrity API and other US services leading to privacy concerns and vendor lock-in
Poor usability and a confusing, error-prone workflow with duplicated steps and unclear guidance

Funktioniert nicht mit GrapheneOS. Edit nach Antwort des Entwicklers: GrapheneOS ist wahrscheinlich das sicherste Betriebssystem für Handy. Da sind Rootrechte ohne Änderung (wie bei normalen Android) nicht vorhanden. Warum nicht direkt nach Root prüfen? Alles anderes (inkl. Bank und kontaktloses Zahlen) funktioniert einwandfrei.

Ob es das E-Rezept der Gematik ist oder die TK-Ident App: Für den "Ottonormalverbraucher" fühlt sich die Nutzung eher nach einem IT-Lehrgang als nach Alltagshilfe an. Man verheddert sich in einer Dauerschleife aus PINs, Passwörtern, Freigabe-Codes und der Aufforderung, die Gesundheitskarte ans Handy zu halten (NFC), was bei der Hälfte der Smartphones erst nach dem zehnten Versuch klappt. Der beste Lifehack: Lass die Apps einfach weg!

Good morning, Unfortunately I can't install the app on any of my android smartphones and tablet. I received my PIN but not being able to install this app I can't complete the registration. Please advice, thanks
