Try a decent restaurant. Their menus are usually on a qr code ( well they are in Spain)

Ah yes, but Spain is an advanced and developed first world country!

So whts a recommended QR scan app for my phone,

Thought the phone should be able to scan these codes but I cant suss out how to do it (Galaxy S7 Edge)

The camera app on my S9 will recognise QR codes - I don't know if that applies to the S7 

Alternatively - there are dedicated QR reader apps. I installed one on my S5 a few years ago but never actually needed to use it..............

Never heard of them up to a few days ago.

Now seeing them mentioned a lot.

Reading conflicking things about it all.

Its just a 3d barcode.  Link you get on any Royal Mail prepaid postage, or Amazon delivery.

Nothing special about them.

I think you will find they are 2D

That depends on the drugs you're taking!

Actually, they can be 2D or 3D.  Technically, they can be (long) 1D as well, but that's incredibly rare.

But yes, I did actually mean to type 2D...   ...butterfinggers

The reason I started this thread was the site I was on wanted me to add credit/debit card details but wanted to verify my age via the QR code/ face pic verification.

Surely the fact I have a credit card should suffice

I dont agree they should have a pic of my mug even though they say its instantly deleted.
 
The site they forwarded me to didnt work - once I started to use my phone rather than my PC it didnt manage to do the job either.

My Lituanian friend had the same trouble she was telling me last night that her bank requires it for her to change her pension.

You don't want the site to have your mug shot but you are happy to give them your card details?

QR codes are a way of translating a long string of text & numbers into a non-threatening looking image.

Vaccine passports use the QR code to encode a long string to identify you and your status.

Scammers can use a QR code to obfuscate a web link that you wouldn't normally choose to click on if you could see it as text.

Just saying.

I dont like my picture taken and once on the net then its there forever.

The only legal documents I have come accross so far that require my mug are all our government requirements (Driving licence - Passport - NSI) and so far my mug shot aint on any of them either.

As for my card details they are used every where and I have some degree of protection to get any monies back.  (plus issues in my life mean I dont/cant get out to use cash)

As a point of interest, Airbnb request a selfie when making a booking now.

fair enough - I wasn't advocating for putting your photo up, I was questioning whether you were happy to enter your card details.

I still find it childishly amusing when I'm asked to produce my driving licence as ID, as it's the old green style paper licence.    I progressed to that from the little red book.

There was me thinking that the 250 in your username was the engine size, not your age
