How to Register an App in Microsoft Entra ID for QRCodeChimp

QRCodeChimp allows your users to log in securely using your organization’s own Entra ID credentials. To enable this branded, seamless experience, you need to integrate QRCodeChimp with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). The integration requires you to create and register Microsoft Entra ID app, which will provide two essential credentials: an Application (Client) ID and a Client Secret. This guide provides a step-by-step guide on how to set up the integration.
