Verifying the authenticity of an item means ensuring that the digital identity and PIN matches the item. This is usually done by scanning the QR code on an item and then providing in the accompanying PIN. After the verification process is completed successfully, you can be sure the item is authentic.

The QR Code for an item can be found:

• On the outside of the item

Scanning the QR Code

There are two ways to scan the QR Code:
