3. Copy the unique code from the email to the clipboard.
4. Switch back to the browser window where the Researcher Portal is open and paste the code from the clipboard into the Confirm code field.
   
5. Click Confirm.
   You are logged in.
6. If you did not receive the code or the code is expired, click Resend.

To login using a QR code:

1. Click QR code.
   The screen displays a QR code.
   
2. Open the Kernel App on your iOS or Android device.
   
   NOTE:
