Here's my 1 and 2 explanation @tombornal as for the 3 and 4 pls see the next comment 1. ELI5 Explanation: Consider your laptop to be a locked door that requires a unique key to open. You can use your phone as a magic key maker in place of typing a lengthy password, which could be similar to having a key made from scratch. A unique key that precisely fits your laptop's lock is instantly created when you use your phone to scan a QR code on the screen. The door (your laptop) suddenly opens! 2. Core Concepts Explained: QR Code: A QR code is essentially an elegant barcode designed to store data. Here, it contains a special code that your phone can decipher. Verifying your identity is the process of authentication. Your phone notifies your laptop, "Hey, it's me!" via a QR code scan, saving you from having to enter a password. Device Linking: Your phone and laptop can securely communicate and authenticate with one another thanks to the QR code.

Number 4 explanation @tombornal 4. Provides examples of other apps or experiences that have very smooth auth flows like that Examples of Flows for Smooth Authentication: WhatsApp Web: This feature allows you to quickly log into WhatsApp Web by using your phone to scan a QR code on your computer screen. Google's QR Code Sign-in feature enables users to access Google services by simply scanning a QR code that appears on their computer screen. Essentially, this process streamlines the login procedure by utilizing your phone's capabilities to safely verify your identity on a different device, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter passwords. It improves security by lowering the possibility of password theft or misuse and is quick and easy to use.

here's the number 3 explanation @tombornal 3.Links out to details on core concepts Cameras on gadgets like smartphones can quickly decode QR codes thanks to their design. They frequently have special identifiers or URLs that can be used by apps. This process is secured by authentication protocols such as OpenID Connect or OAuth 2.0. They create reliable routes for device-to-device communication. Apps protect your login by using cryptographic techniques to make sure that only your laptop and phone can understand the information being exchanged.
