How do I log into PayPal using QR code?

If you currently have the latest version of the PayPal app installed, as well as biometrics enabled (Face ID, Touch ID, Fingerprints), you may be able to log in on a desktop using a QR code.

Here's how to log in via QR code on a desktop using the app:

1. Go to PayPal.com and click Log in.
2. Open the latest version of the PayPal app.
3. Tap the QR code icon at the top right of the screen.
4. Point the camera at the QR code to scan.
5. Using previously enabled biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, or Fingerprints), log in to the PayPal app.
6. You're redirected to your logged-in PayPal account on the desktop when you log in.

Here's how to log in via QR code on a desktop using a phone camera:

1. Go to PayPal.com and click Log in.
2. Scan the QR code with your phone camera.
3. Tap the banner to launch the installed PayPal app.
4. Using previously enabled biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, or Fingerprints), log in to the PayPal app.
5. When you log in, you're redirected to your logged in PayPal account on the desktop.

Tips:

• If you're not currently logged into the PayPal app or if you don't have biometrics enabled, you may be required to enter your password. Once logged into the app, you should be logged into the desktop version at the same time.
• If you try to scan the QR code with your phone camera and don't have the app installed, you'll be automatically directed to download the latest version before logging into your PayPal account with your email and password.
• This feature is currently only available for Personal accounts.
