One of my favourite up and coming fancy new login methods is QR Code Login, where I use the mobile app for something (like Discord) to magically log into the desktop app or web version. It’s a really cool passwordless login option that’s pretty convenient while still being secure as long as it’s properly designed.

I’d love to see if OVO could make this possible too, as it would be epic when combined with other stuff like SSO in the future! Just imagine being able to log into this very forum, simply by using the OVO Energy app on my phone! :D

Interesting idea this, @Blastoise186 - I’ve not got experience of logging in to anything like this before. Let’s get the idea live and see what the app team think about it.

Here’s an update from the team:

 

We want to keep customers logged into the App and customer behaviour is more so going from the Web online account to ‘In App’ than the other way around.  Given we want to drive App usage over Web, this QR code feature isn’t something we would spend time trying to do. 

 

Status will now be updated.
