Frequently asked questions
Does the QR code expire?
Yes, the temporary QR code is time-limited, so if the pairing sequence times out, you'll need to refresh it and scan again.
Is scanning the QR code more secure than typing a password?
It's designed as a convenient passwordless pairing method, though your organization may still require multi-factor verification for added security.
What if my phone's camera won't scan the code?
Make sure the Outlook mobile app has camera permissions enabled and that your screen brightness is high enough for a clean scan.
Will my folders and tags sync after pairing?
Yes, after a successful pairing you should check your phone's inbox to confirm your custom tags and folders render correctly.
