4CRYPT GUIDE

Use 4CRYPT without guesswork.

This short tutorial always tells you who acts next and where to find the action.

1

Receive a QR

Scan the attached QR. If it was booked as sold or gifted, activate it with the activation code or a live admin handover.

2

Sign in or register

After approval, sign in. If you do not have an account, this entitled QR lets you create one even while public registration is closed.

3

Set up your item

Choose “Attach & set up QR”, scan it, name the item, and use Standard Lost & Found, your own preset, or copy a previous QR.

4

Read finder messages

A new message is directly clickable from the overview and the Messages section.

5

Appearance and language

Choose Standard, Accessible, or an unlocked partner appearance under Account. Eagles always runs in English.

ACCESS

Pilot access

Public registration can stay off. A new customer enters through a personal invitation or an item entitled by a sale or gift.

BUSINESS

Store & company

Direct shop: a signed webhook confirms payment. Retailer: 4CRYPT allocates valueless codes; checkout makes only the paid code activation-ready. Company: an owner invites staff into the same workspace and manages owned or rental hardware.

DEVICE HELP

Devices & browsers

iPhone / Safari: browser camera with local decoder or Camera app; read NFC by tapping, write through an NFC app. Android / Chrome: browser camera and Web NFC or the system scanner. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop support serial input, QR photos and available cameras.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why can’t I name a fresh QR immediately?

A stock QR has no owner. Secure activation assigns it to your account first, then setup continues automatically.

What if the camera or network fails?

Reload, open the camera again, choose a QR photo, or enter the code manually. An interrupted attempt does not consume the QR.

Can I switch activation methods?

Yes. You can switch or tap again. The QR is booked only after the account claim completes successfully.

Where do Lost & Found messages go?

They appear under Messages and as a clickable alert on the overview. Your private email remains hidden from the finder.

Can I switch my appearance back?

Yes. Standard and Accessible are always available. Once Eagles is unlocked it remains available even if the admin changes the code for new customers.

What does blocked mean?

An admin block stops the QR and activation. Paused only means the owner temporarily disabled their own QR.
