QR Scan Login for Frontline Workstations
Credenti QR enables passwordless login using a scannable QR codes to authenticate users on shared workstations. Whether online or offline, Credenti QR integrates directly into the OS login flow to deliver frictionless MFA for frontline teams and shift-based operations.
Ideal for high-turnover environments like retail, hospitality, healthcare, property management, and more.
QR That Works Everywhere You Need It
Use the same QR to unlock Windows and Okta. No passwords. No new hardware. No compromise.
Built for Shared and Frontline Workstations
This solution is ideal for environments where multiple users access the same physical machine — such as clinical workstations, manufacturing terminals, security kiosks, hospitality front desks, concierge desks, and property management offices.
Shared and high-turnover workstations are nearly impossible to secure with traditional MFA — and passwords are making it worse.
Industries like retail, hospitality, healthcare, property management rely heavily on shift-based, seasonal, or temporary staff. These workers often share machines, operate in environments where mobile devices are prohibited, and cannot be issued phones or hardware tokens. Meanwhile, passwords remain a constant struggle. Users frequently forget passwords due to sporadic schedules and lack of personal credential ownership — leading to downtime, helpdesk calls, and risky workarounds like shared credentials or sticky notes.
IT teams are left managing constant resets, onboarding delays, and policy exceptions — all of which increase operational risk, costs, and support burden.
Credenti delivers QR code-based workstation login — no phones, no passwords, no tokens.
Each user receives a unique, time-bound QR code tied to their identity. At login, they simply scan it using the workstation’s built-in or external camera — no typing, app switching, or hardware required. QR codes can be configured to expire after a set time or usage count, and can include a PIN prompt for added assurance. If a user is deactivated or inactive, the code becomes invalid immediately. Even in offline or air-gapped environments, local validation ensures that access is secure and responsive.
Credenti transforms shared and frontline workstations into secure access points — reducing onboarding time, eliminating password fatigue, and enforcing strong MFA without introducing new hardware or dependencies.
Key Benefits
Instant Provisioning & Expiry
QR credentials can be issued instantly through the admin console and revoked just as quickly — ensuring only current, authorized users retain access. This is especially useful in high-churn environments where staff may be active for a single shift and require rapid onboarding and deactivation.
Zero Device Overhead
No mobile phones, tokens, or shared passwords to manage. Users don't need to install apps, carry external devices, or remember credentials. This eliminates friction at the point of login and drastically reduces IT’s burden of provisioning and reclaiming MFA hardware.
Session-Based Access
Enforce machine access control without adding friction for end users. Each login session is tied to a verified user, ensuring only authorized individuals can unlock shared devices — even in kiosk or frontline environments where users rotate frequently. This provides accountability and visibility while maintaining a seamless experience.
Frictionless for IT
No phone provisioning or app lifecycle management needed. IT teams don’t need to onboard personal devices, configure mobile apps, or manage MFA hardware inventory — drastically simplifying deployment, maintenance, and support for dynamic frontline operations.
Easy to Deploy
Designed for rapid rollout, Credenti QR leverages the camera hardware already available on your machines. There’s no need for additional peripherals or special setup. Deployment is streamlined with agent-based models that allow centralized policy enforcement and consistent user experience across distributed environments.
Compliance-Ready
Every authentication event is logged, traceable, and policy-enforced — enabling organizations to meet internal security standards and external compliance mandates. Admins have full visibility into login activity across shared devices, supporting audits, investigations, and regulatory reporting.
Built for Labs & Cleanrooms
In highly controlled lab and cleanroom environments, strict contamination protocols often prohibit mobile phones, tokens, or external authentication devices from entering or leaving the workspace. This presents a unique challenge for digital access.
With Credenti QR, each lab user can be issued a secure QR code and store it physically inside the lab. Using the workstation’s built-in camera, users can scan their assigned QR and gain secure, passwordless access to the machine — without violating contamination policies.
How QR Code Login Works
1. QR Code Issuance
Each user is assigned a unique, signed QR code linked to their identity profile.
2. Login Prompt
At the OS login screen, the user presents their QR code in front of a built-in or external camera.
3. Validation
Credenti verifies the QR code and policy conditions in real time.
4. Access Granted
Upon successful validation, the user session starts — no password required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do users actually log in with a QR code?
Users simply scan their assigned QR code in front of the machine’s built-in or external camera. This initiates the login process without requiring passwords, phones, or tokens.
How do you secure login in cleanroom environments where devices aren’t allowed?
Credenti supports secure access in cleanrooms by allowing users to store printed QR codes physically inside the environment. These can be scanned using a built-in or authorized external camera to authenticate without introducing prohibited devices.
What is QR Code Usage Limit?
You can define how many times a QR code can be used before it expires. This is useful for high-turnover environments to ensure temporary credentials don’t remain active indefinitely.
Can PIN be used as a second factor?
Yes. A PIN can serve as a second factor (2F) during QR login — ideal for environments where mobile phones and tokens aren’t viable but multi-factor assurance is still required.
What if users can’t be issued phones, badges, or security keys?
Credenti supports printed, individually issued QR codes that can be used without phones, tokens, or badges — perfect for high-turnover and frontline teams.
Can users log in to Okta using QR code as 2F?
Yes. Credenti supports QR as a second factor integrated into Okta workflows. Users can enter a password and then scan their QR for MFA compliance.
Can access be restricted by time, machine, or policy?
Yes. You can define access rules such as allowed days of the week, time ranges, or specific machines. These policy conditions must be met before a QR code can unlock the device.
