School Passport provides students and teachers with access to educational applications simply by holding up a physical badge with a QR code (ID Card) to the computer's webcam instead of typing in the credentials. 

QR codes are specifically associated with students’ and teachers' data, so any changes in their school assignments and class data will not affect the QR Code.
