How do I log in to the Canvas Student app on my Android device with a QR code?
Once you download the Canvas Student app from the Play store, you can use the app to log in to your Canvas account.
You can generate a unique QR code from your Canvas web browser to quickly log into the app. This method uses your credentials from the QR code to log you into the app. The QR code is located in your account profile (User Navigation Menu).
