Verizon announced Tuesday it will soon begin using QR codes to allow users to log in to sites and programs in its Universal Identity Services portfolio. The move should reduce fraud, phishing attacks and even reduce unnecessary expenses associated with help desk support and password resets Users will have to enroll for a Verizon Universal ID, and then download an app that will scan a dynamically generated QR code on the login page to be authenticated to sites that use them. The company will roll out the QR code feature soon for all UIS customers, employees and business partners.
