Activating a new device shouldn’t mean typing long passwords or struggling with on-screen keyboards — especially on TVs or shared devices. That’s why we at Octohide VPN introduced QR code device activation, making login faster, simpler, and more secure.

In this article, we’ll explain how QR code activation works, how to use it step by step, and why it’s one of the easiest ways to manage multiple devices with Octohide VPN.

• Octohide VPN supports QR code login for device activation

• Activate new devices without typing credentials

• Works perfectly for TVs, PCs, and secondary devices

• Available for both Free and VIP users

What Is a QR Code Device Activation?

QR code activation is a quick login method that lets you authorize a new device using a device that’s already logged in (usually your phone).

Instead of entering your email and password again, you simply:

• Scan a QR code (or enter a code manually)

• Confirm the login

• Start using Octohide VPN instantly

It’s faster, safer, and ideal for devices where typing is inconvenient.

Why We Introduced QR Code Login

Many users run Octohide VPN on more than one device - phones, laptops, TVs, or shared household devices. Traditional login methods can be slow or awkward in those cases.

QR code activation solves this by offering:

• Faster authentication

• Reduced risk of typing errors

• Easy login on TVs and large screens

• Seamless multi-device experience

How to Activate a Device Using a QR Code (Step by Step)

Step 1: Open Octohide VPN on the New Device

Install and launch Octohide VPN on the device you want to activate (TV, PC, tablet, etc.).

Step 2: Choose “Sign In With QR code”

Go to Settings > Account, and tap Sign in with QR Code. (If already logged in, tap Switch Account or Sign Out first).

Step 3: Open Octohide VPN on Your Already Logged in Device

On a device where you are already logged in, go to Settings → Account → Devices →  Activate new device

Step 4: Scan or Enter Code

Scan the QR code or enter the code manually displayed on the new device and confirm the login.

• QR Code: Use your active device to scan the code on the new one.

• Unique Code: Manually type in the text code provided.

That’s it - your device is now activated and ready to connect. 

What Devices Is QR Code Activation Best For?

QR code login works especially well for:

• Smart TVs

• Shared or family devices

Anywhere typing is slow or inconvenient, QR codes save time.
