Credenti QR Factor

QR Code MFA for Okta Access on Shared Devices

With Credenti, logging in is as simple as scanning a QR code. It’s the only solution that integrates native QR-based MFA into Okta without disrupting existing workflows. No passwords, no apps, no delays — just fast, secure access through the camera already built into your shared machines.

Ideal for high-turnover environments like retail, hospitality, healthcare, property management, and more.

Why It Matters for High-Turnover Industries

Industries like retail, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and property management rely on seasonal, shift-based, and temporary staff. Issuing phones, tokens, or security keys to each user is costly, complex, and unscalable.

Credenti QR Factor for Okta replaces this with a passwordless, scan-and-go experience. Workers scan a secure QR code using the workstation’s camera — no phone, app, or token required.

This dramatically reduces IT friction while keeping security high. QR codes are unique, policy-driven, and valid only under specific conditions — ideal for dynamic, high-turnover environments.

Behind the Scenes: How It Works

1. QR Code Issuance

Admins generate a unique, time-limited QR code for each user via the Credenti Console.

A QR code links a smartphone, a download icon, and an envelope with a QR code inside.

2. Distribution

Codes can be emailed, downloaded, or printed on badges.
