Secure and easy login to your website with tiqr
With tiqr, users can log in to your website securely and easily. They authenticate themselves by scanning a QR code with their phone. They therefore do not need to enter a user name and password. Tiqr is an open source software that you integrate into your own website.
How does tiqr work?
With tiqr, the user of your website logs in by simply following these steps:
- The website displays a QR code
- The user scans the QR code with the tiqr app on the phone and enters his or her PIN code.
- The app sends the identity of the user to the authentication server of the website, together with the QR information.
- The server validates the information
- If the information is correct, the page will be reloaded and the user will be given access.
