- Wait a second for the code to be detected automatically.

QR scanner FAQ
Does QR scanning work on desktop?
Yes, as long as your computer has a camera and your browser allows camera access. Use a secure (https) page so camera permission works.
Is browser QR scanning private?
Yes. Detection runs locally on your device; camera images are never uploaded to a server.
Why is my camera not turning on?
Camera access needs a secure https page. Also check that permission is allowed for this site in your browser settings, and close other apps that may be using the camera.
