When the user scans the QR code, each device will show a confirmation screen,Īnd after user approval the new device will be connected to their account.Ī detailed technical user-flow is available here. When they visit that URL on their Desktop device, it will confirm their intent to connectĪnother device, and then generate and display a QR code. On their mobile device, Firefox invites them to navigate to /pair on their Desktop browser,Īnd offers to scan the QR code which will be generated by that device. Let's assume that the user is already signed-in to their Desktop Firefox profile.

We hope to expand these capabilities in future. A Firefox Account user can connect a new device to their account without entering a password,īy instead 'pairing' with an already-connected device in order to obtain account credentials.Ĭurrently, the pairing implementation is limited to a mobile device (Firefox Android and iOS) scanning a QR code displayed on a computer (Firefox Desktop) already connected to a Firefox Account.
