How do I migrate my credential from a Linux device? – Beyond Identity

This article will provide an overview of extending your Beyond Identity credential from your Linux device to another device.

Instructions

This article is intended for users that have already registered a Beyond Identity credential on a Linux device.

Migrating credentials via SSH is not supported, as the export part requires user to authenticate on the device.

Use the following command to list the credentials on your Linux device:

beyond-identity credentials

Use the following command to start the migration process. Note that the variable is the handle of the credential from the list.

beyond-identity credential export <handle>

You will be prompted for verifying your identity on the device.

Once you have authenticated a QR code and text code will be shown.

Remember not to share your screen while adding the credential or keep the code open too long.

After completing the process on another device the request will be processed and a message indicates it was successful.
