Though the option to sign in to Google Messages in Beeper using a QR Code is possible in Beeper Desktop is possible, you'll need to switch to Google Sign-In to connect Google Messages to Beeper using the Beeper Android app.

How do you switch from QR to Google Sign-In?

Here are the steps to switch your Google Messages “Device pairing” from QR Code to Google Sign-in:

1. Open your Google Messages native app
2. Tap over your Google account Avatar on the top right corner
3. Select “Device pairing”
4. You will be given the option to use the QR code scanner, switch to Google Account pairing, and use your Paired devices.
   1. Select “Switch to Google Account pairing”
5. Now, you can start to link your Google Messages account and Beeper, either on the Beeper Android app or Beeper Cloud Desktop.

Google account Sign-In Passkey

If you use your MacBook's Touch ID as your Google account passkey, you must press “Try another way” and use your password, followed by Two-step Verification if you're connecting using Beeper Desktop.
