Connecting to an app

With VaultysID, signing in to a compatible app (VaultysHub, VaultysBox, your organization's services…) requires no password: the app displays a QR code, you scan it with your phone, you approve, and you're done. Your keys never leave your phone: the app only receives a signed proof and your public identifier.

To try it out

The screenshots on this page were taken with the VaultysID Playground, a demo page that behaves like a real app. Open wallet.vaultys.net/test on your computer to go through the flow yourself.

1. The app displays a QR code​

On your computer, the app's sign-in page displays a QR code.

2. Scan it with VaultysID​

On your phone, open VaultysID and tap Scan a QR code (or the Scan button in the middle of the navigation bar), then point at the QR code.

On your phone, tap “Scan a QR code” then point at the QR code

info

You can also scan the QR code with your phone's camera: it opens VaultysID directly.

3. Check the request​

VaultysID displays the sign-in request: the app's name, its address, and what it will receive.

02.connection-request

A Verified badge indicates that the app's address has been checked. If the badge says Not verified, or if VaultysID warns you that the app's key has changed, make sure you initiated the request yourself before going any further.

Also check the identity you are signing in with, then tap Sign in.

Check the app's name, what it will receive and the identity used, then tap “Sign in”

caution

Never approve a sign-in request that you did not initiate yourself.

4. Unlock your VaultysID​

Depending on the method chosen when you created your identity, unlock with your fingerprint, your face, your security key or your PIN code.

Find your apps​

The Apps tab lists all the apps you have signed in to with your VaultysID, from the most recent to the oldest.

The Apps tab lists the apps you have signed in to

Tap an app to see when you first and last signed in to it, and its history. This is also where you can sign in with a code or sign out of the app, meaning forget it on this phone.
