01Open your workspace profile
Click your workspace name in the top left of the Slack desktop app to reveal the profile menu.
02Access the sign-in option
Hover over your organization profile panel and click 'Sign in on Mobile' to launch the code generator.
03Display the QR code
Keep the generated, single-use QR code visible on your desktop screen.
04Open the Slack app on mobile
Launch a freshly installed or existing Slack app on your phone and tap Sign In.
05Scan to authenticate
Select 'Scan QR Code', grant camera access, and align your phone with the desktop screen to complete sign-in.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Slack QR code stay valid?
The code is single-use and expires after a short window for security reasons.
Can I use the QR code to sign into more than one device?
You'll need to generate a new QR code for each additional device you want to sign in.
What if my phone camera won't scan the code?
Make sure camera permissions are granted to the Slack app and that your screen brightness is high enough for a clear scan.
Is QR sign-in safer than typing a password?
It avoids exposing your password on a small mobile keyboard and relies on an already authenticated desktop session.
