Scan everyday codes. Set up 2FA from QR codes. Keep verification codes and passwords close at hand. Authenticator & QR Scanner brings QR and barcode scanning together with practical tools for the accounts and links behind those codes. Scan an account’s setup QR code to add time-based verification codes, keep its login details in Passwords, open related links in the in-app browser, or scan a product barcode to explore available prices. SCAN QR CODES & BARCODES Use your camera or choose an image from Photos to scan QR codes and common barcodes. Open links, read information, and save useful results for later. SET UP 2FA FROM A QR CODE Scan a compatible 2FA setup QR code or enter a secret key to add a TOTP account. View time-based verification codes in Codes and copy them when you sign in. HOTP is not supported. KEEP PASSWORDS ORGANIZED Save account names, usernames, and passwords in Passwords. Search your entries and copy the details you need. CHECK PASSWORD SECURITY Review password strength and check a password against known breach data. A check can help identify a password you may want to change, but it cannot guarantee that an account or password is safe. PROTECT YOUR SAVED ACCOUNTS Passwords and TOTP secrets are stored in the iOS Keychain on this device with cloud sync disabled. Enable optional Face ID and Privacy Mode. Password backups are encrypted with a backup password. TOTP exports are not encrypted and include setup secrets, so the app warns you before export. BROWSE SCANNED LINKS Open scan-related links or find a service’s 2FA setup page in the in-app browser. The Browser highlights HTTPS status and starts fresh after an app restart by clearing tabs, cookies, and website data. Bookmarks remain on your device until you remove them. Websites still receive normal network information and anything you choose to submit. COMPARE PRODUCT PRICES Scan supported product barcodes to view product details and compare available prices. Results and availability vary by product and retailer. SCAN MORE AT ONCE Capture multiple codes in one batch and keep the results together. CREATE & SHARE QR CODES Create QR codes for websites, text, Wi-Fi networks, contact details, and more. Save or share them in just a few taps. FIND YOUR PAST SCANS Return to useful links, barcodes, and product information from your scan history. MORE QR TOOLS Use More to access product authenticity checks, QR creation, PDF tools, Settings, and browser controls. PREMIUM ACCESS An active subscription is required to process scan results, add or import verification-code accounts and passwords, and run password breach checks.
