How to use a QR code to log to a BenQ Board via Google Chrome or Safari from your mobile device
BenQ offers customers 4 distinct ways of logging into BenQ Boards.
- Type in your username and password via the onscreen keyboard or a connected USB keyboard
- Use the QR code to login via a web browser on your mobile device
- Use your NFC card to login (RP series boards only)
- Sign in via SSO
We’d also like to share another way. You can optimize your log in through QR code by using the password manager on different browsers and mobile operating systems. If your IT administrator has disabled this function, please ask whether your organization has approved the use of third party password managers.
