# Sign in with a QR code

> The fastest way to sign in to Judges Companion is by scanning a QR code.

## Steps

1. Open the **Judges Companion** app on your device.
2. Tap **Scan QR Code** on the welcome screen.
3. Point your camera at the QR code displayed by the meet organizer.
4. The app automatically fills in:

* Meet password and session password
* Your judge name (if encoded in the QR code)
* Apparatus, rotation, and roles (if encoded in the QR code)

5. Review the pre-filled information and tap **Continue**.

## What the QR Code Contains

The QR code may include all of the following, or just a subset:

| Field            | Required | Description                                 |
| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Meet password    | Yes      | Authenticates you to the competition        |
| Session password | Yes      | Grants access to a specific session         |
| Judge name       | Optional | Pre-fills your name                         |
| Apparatus        | Optional | Pre-selects your apparatus                  |

| Roles            | Optional | Pre-selects your judge roles (D1, E1, etc.) |

If optional fields are not included in the QR code, you will select them manually in the following steps.
