It's more useful to go the other way. Generate a QR code (with a url & certificate) on your smartphone, and scan that from a desktop to log in. Only problem is nobody is writing PC software anymore, so even finding decent QR code scanner software for a desktop computer is troublesome these days.
- legierski 15y agoI disagree. Going that way you can use pretty much any device with web browser to log into. Desktop, laptop, iPad or even your fridge, if it has browser built in. Mac/Linux/Windows - it doesn't matter. There is need for any additional software, also no need for built-in webcam.
- missing_cipher 15y ago"Only problem is nobody is writing PC software anymore" Huh?
- wavephorm 15y agoNobody is writing Windows or Mac software anymore.
- georgemcbay 15y agoThat is a completely ridiculous statement with no basis in reality.
- wavephorm 15y agoWhen you search for QR scanning software there are 45 options for iOS, and only 2 for MacOS one of which is an Air app and the other costs $30 and is proprietary and they both suck.
- georgemcbay 15y agoThat says very little about whether people are still writing software for Windows and Macs in general and quite a lot about the use case of QR codes for mobile devices vs desktops.
