Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about QRAuth – Passwordless & Social Login

No. On a computer they scan the code with their phone's camera. On a phone they press the button and confirm on the same phone. They confirm with Google, GitHub, Microsoft or Apple on QRAuth's page, so there is nothing to install and no new password.

The visitor presses "Sign in with QRAuth", confirms on QRAuth in the same tab, and lands back on your site signed in. The phone is not asked to scan its own screen; the QR code is only offered for signing in from a second device.

Use Sign in with QRAuth for every new site. The embedded widget is kept for sites that were set up with it. To switch, add your website under Website Sign-in in the QRAuth dashboard and paste the new Client ID and Client Secret into the Sign in with QRAuth section. Existing users keep their linked accounts. Administrators and Editors who used the widget link their account once from their profile.

Settings → QRAuth has a "Sign-in not working?" list. The most common causes: QRAuth says "This sign-in link looks wrong": the return address in the QRAuth dashboard does not match the one on the settings page exactly, or the Client ID has a typo. Your login page says "QRAuth sign-in failed": Full name or Email address is not ticked for your website in the QRAuth dashboard, or the Client Secret was replaced there. "There is no account on this site for your QRAuth identity": no user has that email address and account creation is off. With WP_DEBUG_LOG on, each failed sign-in writes its exact reason to the debug log in a line starting with [qrauth-psl].

They aren't. Auto-provisioned accounts get a 32-character random password that nobody (including you) holds or needs. WordPress users who already had a password keep it — QRAuth just becomes an additional sign-in method alongside the usual form.

Yes. If a scanned account's email matches an existing WordPress user, they log into that account — no duplicate is created. The match is remembered via user meta, so subsequent sign-ins skip the email lookup.

Subscriber, hardcoded. The settings UI only offers Subscriber, the sanitiser clamps any other value to Subscriber, and the provisioner ignores the stored option entirely and uses Subscriber unconditionally — this aligns with WordPress.org plugin directory guidelines for sign-in plugins that create users post-external-verification. There is no plugin-provided code path (filter, action, option, or constant) to elevate the auto-provisioning role. If a particular user needs a higher role, change it manually via Users → All Users after their first sign-in.

Yes — from Users → Your Profile there's a QRAuth section with an "Unlink QRAuth" button. Admins can unlink other users from their profiles too. The WordPress account (role, posts, comments, history) is preserved; only the link metadata is removed.

Yes. Deactivate and all your users stay. Uninstall removes the plugin's settings row and its rate-limit transients — it never deletes WordPress user accounts or their content. If you reinstall later, existing users re-link automatically on their next QRAuth sign-in.

No. There's no telemetry, no analytics, no third-party scripts. The only outbound request is from your server to https://qrauth.io/api/v1/auth-sessions/verify-result during a login attempt, carrying only the session ID and the signature the user's phone produced.
