This article is for users who have already registered a Beyond Identity passkey and want to use it on an Android device, such as a Samsung Galaxy or another Android phone.
By extending your passkey to an Android device, you'll create a backup of your passkey, making it possible to restore it if it's ever deleted from the original device.
Steps
1. If you haven’t already, download the Beyond Identity Authenticator on your Android device from the Google Play Store, or by visiting https://app.byndid.com/downloads in your mobile browser.
2. Once installed, open the Beyond Identity Authenticator on your Android device. Then, tap Next.
3. Tap Enroll with Existing Device.
5. Tap Scan QR Code.
You have only 60 seconds to scan the QR code on the device that already has the passkey installed.
6. In an example use case, let's extend your passkey from a Windows device to your Android phone.
First, open the Beyond Identity Authenticator in your Windows machine, then click Set up other devices.
7. Read the message in the dialog window. If you choose to extend the passkey, click Yes, extend my passkey.
8. When the QR code appears on the next screen, scan it with your Android device (see Step 5).
9. If scanning the QR code is done successfully, a green confirmation banner will appear indicating that the passkey was added to your Android device.
