+> [!NOTE]
+> Once QR code authentication is scoped to a user e.g. via a group, the user must first successfully complete an interactive or non-interactive authentication before the QR code can be used. Whilst most users will likely complete a successful authentication before they use QR code authentication, some may not which will result in an _Incorrect QR code_ error.

 ## Add QR code authentication method for a user
 
 You can add a QR code authentication method for a user by using the Microsoft Entra admin center, My Staff, or Microsoft Graph API. At a time, only one active QR code auth method is allowed. Standard QR code is generated during 'Add authentication method'. You can add Temporary QR code, which is short-lived, if user is not carrying Standard QR code. You can delete Standard/Temporary QR code to add a new Standard/Temporary QR code. A user can have only one Standard and one Temporary QR code active at any point of time.
