is a good breakthrough using qr code but there are advantages and disadvantages as well. the first must be easier because of the scan only, without we input one by one. we are less susceptible to viruses and data security so less

There's not really much of a virus hazard on a factory reset phone? That's the point of a factory reset. Caution is still a good idea and not connecting the reset phone to the Internet at all is a good idea (you can get qr codes that you can scan to send transactions input included I think) if not it's simple enough to do.
Thanks jackg. Yes I have a few spare old android phones. Going to reset it before I use it.
Any updates on how this worked for you if you've tried it yet? It'd be useful to find if you had any issues using it (or if you just waited for your webcam to arrive).
