Trying to find a QR code to log on to Kagi

AliKelman

I have just upgraded my membership to Kagi so that my wife and I are now Family Members. I have set Kagi as the default search engine on my Vivaldi browser on my desktop. Now I want to have Kagi on my Android phone as my default search engine. But I cannot seem to find a means of putting a QR code onto my desktop so that the Kagi search engine on my phone is synchronised to my desktop Kagi.

I anticipated finding a QR code somewhere on Kagi Desktop which I could scan with my phone which would then synchronise the desktop with my phone and ensure that the passwords etc were the same on both units

We do have a QR code sign-in, but it's designed to have you logged in on your phone, then scan the code on your desktop to automatically log in on your desktop: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/log-in-with-qr-code.html

You can always log in on your Android device the usual way, with your email and password. Your Kagi account will be there and be synced. If you use Vivaldi on your Android, too, their sync system might autofill your details.

HI johnkagi - yes what I wanted to do was the other way around. I have since managed to get around this by very carefully on my Desktop writing down my long password (20 characters which were mixed up with upper and lower case plus special ones) then going to my phone having removed and reinstalled the Kagi App on the phone, clicking log in and then manually typing in the full password. This has correctly connected.

What was confusing me is that I was used to my browser remembering all my earlier searches. I had forgotten the Kagi is privacy friendly and therefore doesn't log every key stroke and search.
