For a while I had a phone with a broken camera. Got a new job. Company requires scanning a QR code to authenticate. "I can't - my phone's camera is broken." IT has no idea what to do. After two days of being locked out of services needed to do my job they finally manage to add an exemption for 24 hours to my account. The exemption somehow stands to this day.
No, they did not provide a work phone.
- brian-armstrong 4y agoCouldn't you have drawn it in Paint, and then scanned the drawing on your computer?
- donkarma 4y agoyeah that's a reasonable thing to do every day
- 3np 4y agoWas it only on paper or did you get it digitally? If the latter, zbar should do the trick to decode it. If it requires iOS or Android, that'd be a cue to inform them how you currently don't own a device with either and ask how to make it work on your Pinephone running Mobian. More people need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable for this to start changing. Assuming employees will have personal Android/iOS devices and require registering and using them for work functions is something which needs to be mentioned in an employment contract to have any standing.
