Security Settings Required for QR Code Login

To ensure there are no Security concerns about making login easier with QR codes, this feature is designed to be used in combination with Access Approval Management and Group IP Restrictions to manage the source of access.

Please use these in combination as appropriate for your operation.

If you want to allow QR Code Login only when accessing from a specified IP address

By using Group IP Restrictions, you can restrict QR Code Login so that it is only possible from a designated location (network), such as within the office or a store.

※ IP Restrictions apply not only to the mobile app but also to web browsers and mobile browsers.
　For details, please see the page below.

If you want to allow QR Code Login only from approved mobile apps

By approving a specific mobile app through Access Approval Management, only approved apps will be able to use QR Code Login.
If QR Code Login is attempted from an unapproved mobile app, an approval request will be sent to the Administrator.
Once the Administrator approves it, the user will be able to log in with the QR code.

Flow when using Access Approval Management

When Access Approval Management is in use, QR Code Login begins with the following flow.
Since the approval request is sent to the Administrator when the QR code is scanned, there is no need to submit the Specific Code in advance.

1. The Administrator issues and distributes QR codes for users to log in.

2. The user scans the QR code with the mobile app.
   If the app has not been approved, "Waiting for Access Approval" is displayed, and an approval request is sent to the Administrator.

4. The user can log in by scanning the QR code again.

To receive email notifications when a request arrives, turn on "Application Notification (For Administrators)" under "Notifications" in Group Settings.
If you want to complete approval before distribution, collect the Specific Code from the user and have the Administrator register and approve it manually.

FAQ

Q. Do issued QR codes have an expiration date?

A. Yes.
QR codes have an Expiration Date and can be used for one year from the date of issuance.
You can extend the Deadline as needed.

Q. Can all users log in using a QR code?

A. No.
Only General Users can log in with a QR code.
For security reasons, Group administrators and Sub-administrators cannot log in with a QR code.

Q. Even when using QR Code Login, can I still use the conventional Login method (entering Login information or SSO)?

A. Yes, you can.

Q. Is Single Sign-On (SSO) setup required to use QR Code Login?

A. No, it is not required.
QR Code Login is available for Groups on a contract that can use Single Sign-On (SSO), but it can be used even without SSO configured (i.e., without linking to an authentication service).
However, if SSO is configured and "Limit to Single Sign-On only" is enabled, logging in with a QR code will not be possible.
