How do I extend my passkey to an Android device?

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 completing this process, 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 Generate QR / 9 Digit Code.

When the QR or 9-digit code appear in the next screen, you have only 60 seconds to enter them in the device that already has the passkey installed. 

6. Let's imagine that you are extending your passkey from a Windows device to your Android.

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. Enter the 9-digit code generated in your macOS machine (see Step 5 above) to the Android device, OR tap Open Camera to scan the QR code. 

9. When you are done, a green confirmation banner will appear indicating that the passkey was added successfully on your Android device.
