Frequently asked questions
Using AuthPlus
Section titled “Using AuthPlus”- Do customers need an account to verify a product?
- No. The verification app works with no account and no registration, in the mobile app or a browser.
- Does verification work without an internet connection?
- No. Authenticity is decided by the server, so a connection is always required.
- Can I verify a product without the mobile app?
- Yes — open the AuthPlus website and choose the verification area. Everything except precise location works the same way.
- What if the QR code is damaged?
- Type the code printed beside it. Codes deliberately avoid the characters most often confused.
- Someone scanned my product before me. Is it fake?
- Not necessarily — a batch is normally checked by the factory, the distributor and the shop. What matters is the pattern: many checks, in distant places, in a short time.
Codes and printing
Section titled “Codes and printing”- How many codes can I issue at once?
- Up to 1000 per issuance. Larger runs are split into several issuances, which also gives finer recall control.
- Can I reuse or re-issue a code?
- No. Every code is unique and permanent. Issue new codes instead.
- Can I change a product's name after codes are printed?
- Yes — verdict screens show the current details. What is printed on the physical label does not change, so keep the two consistent.
- What size should the printed QR be?
- Test before the full run. Print one sheet at the final size, on the final material, and scan it with an ordinary phone (Labels & exports).
- Can I stop a single code without affecting the batch?
- Yes. Archive that one code. Archiving the issuance, item, product or brand affects everything beneath it.
Accounts and access
Section titled “Accounts and access”- I forgot my password.
- Use Forgot password, or sign in with a one-time email code (Signing in).
- Can an administrator see my password?
- No. Passwords are stored only as an irreversible hash. An administrator can set a new one for an account they create, but cannot read an existing one.
- Can two people share one account?
- Technically yes, but do not: the audit trail attributes every action to the account, so sharing destroys accountability.
- What happens to my products if my account is archived?
- They stop verifying — every code you own returns withdrawn until the account is restored (Archiving an account).
- How do I get the Admin role?
- Another administrator must grant it. It cannot be requested from the interface.
Data and privacy
Section titled “Data and privacy”- Is my document uploaded when I verify a file?
- No. The fingerprint is computed on your own device and only that value is sent. Checking a link is different: there the server downloads the file to hash it.
- Can I delete a record?
- Records are archived, not deleted, so the audit trail stays intact. Archived records stop verifying and can be restored.
- Who can see where a scan happened?
- The owner of the scanned code, and administrators. Verifiers see their own history.
- Will I be notified if one of my codes is abused?
- Not by email or push — a warning appears in the dashboard and the sidebar badge (Notifications).
