Common Issues and Solutions
Problem: QR Code Opens a Website Instead of Authenticating
This is the most common issue when trying to use passkeys across devices. The QR code for passkey authentication is different from regular website QR codes and needs to be scanned in a specific way.
Solution:
Make sure you're using the native camera app, Google Lens, or Chrome's QR scanner
Check that your Android device is running the latest version of Android OS
Ensure Google Play Services are updated
Try each of the three scanning methods listed above
Problem: No Prompt Appears After Scanning
Solution:
Make sure your Android device has the Kuda Business app installed
Verify that you've previously set up a passkey on your Android device
Check that both devices are connected to the internet
Problem: Authentication Fails or Times Out
Solution:
Restart both devices and try again
Ensure both devices have strong internet connections
Update both devices to the latest operating system
Update the Kuda Business app on both devices
After Successful Sign-In
After you've successfully signed in to your Kuda Business account on your iPhone using your Android passkey, you may want to:
Set up a new passkey specifically for your iPhone for easier future logins
This can typically be done through the app settings or security section
