There are two ways to log on using a smartphone.

*Smartphone logon by reading QR codes
As with registration, a QR code is scanned with a smartphone to connect to the terminal PC for authentication.
*Smartphone logon by notification
Based on the information on the past connection by QR code reading, a notification is sent to the smartphone to connect to the terminal PC and perform authentication.

Smartphone logon by notification requires that the smartphone supports this mechanism.
Currently, only smartphones running the Android OS are supported.

YubiOn FIDO Logon has multiple authentication methods, and depending on the usage situation, an authentication screen other than the authentication method you wish to use may appear.
In this case, click “Logon with another type of device” and select the appropriate logon method on the authentication information selection screen that appears.
Select “Logon with smartphone” if you wish to log on with a smartphone by reading a QR code, or “Logon with “(Device name)”” if you wish to log on with a smartphone by notification.
