Why is my phone's camera unable to scan the QR code during authentication?

Mobile Troubleshooting

On iPhone:

  1. Open the Camera app (not a QR code scanner app).
  2. Point the camera at the QR code on your computer screen.
  3. Make sure the QR code fills most of the camera view.
  4. Tap the notification banner that appears at the top.

On Android:

  1. Open your default Camera app or Google Lens.
  2. Point the camera at the QR code on your computer screen.
  3. Tap the notification or link that appears.
  4. Some Android devices may require you to tap the QR code in the camera view.

Troubleshooting:

  • Ensure your phone's camera has permission to scan QR codes.
  • Adjust the brightness of your computer screen.
  • Make sure there is no glare on the screen.
  • Try moving your phone closer or farther from the screen.
