yes, i think you do need an android phone with a properly configure google account for this to work.

That's not the case. Presumably accessing the QRCode generates a single use URL, which you can access in the computer browser. There is no client side logic.

(Also, Google generally ships stuff on both iOS and Android)

(Also, it goes against Google's interest to restrict Google account features to Android)



This works just fine from my Windows Phone.


> There is no client side logic.

There have to be some though. I.e. you have to be logged in to Google on your phone.


Naw, you can technically scan this link w/ another laptop using its webcam.
