HelloID

Log in with a QR code (user dashboard)

QR codes make it easy to log into HelloID on any device that has a camera. Simply scan the QR code that was issued to you, and you're in—no username or password required! QR codes are particularly useful for users who have trouble remembering passwords, such as young students.

The video above shows how this functionality works on a Google Chromebook, but the concept is the same on all devices.

Note

This feature is only available if your IT department has enabled it. Once it has been enabled, they can provide you with a printable or digital QR code.

  1. Open a web browser and go to your organization's HelloID portal.

    This is usually yourorganization.helloid.com or helloid.yourorganization.com.
