It is from the banks that leveraged their KYC but was adopted very broadly by gov and many other id required or linked services. AFAIK it does not need a computer to activate besides your phone and one of those bank issued 2FA challange card readers.
For CSAM, also AFAIK, first 'activation' includes a visit to your local municipality to verify your identity. Unless you go via itsme, as it is and authorized CSAM key holder.
Unless your bank supports it, you will need a windows/mac computer to activate, as it uses the https://plugin.connective.eu/ browser plugin to read out your ID, which doesn't support Linux. Maybe it has changed, last I tried was more than a year ago and that time, my bank (AXA) couldn't be used to activate, so the only other option was browser activation.
