How to Sign In & Authorize Baidu Drive

The first time you import courses or audio from Baidu Drive in "Anxin Learn", the official Baidu secure authorization screen appears.

Many parents worry because they forgot a complex password set years ago — but you don't need your password at all! Baidu's official page offers 3 quick sign-in methods.

[!TIP] 30-second quick sign-in

  • Scan with the app (recommended): open the Baidu Drive app on your phone and scan the on-screen QR code — authorized in ~2 seconds, no password;
  • No password needed: SMS code sign-in is supported; forgetting that old complex password is no problem;
  • Stays signed in: after one authorization, the token is stored safely on-device — no re-login every time;
  • Strictly read-only: authorization happens on Baidu's official secure page; this app never sees your password and has no permission to modify or delete anything.

1. Three Sign-In Methods (Pick Your Favorite)

Method 1 (recommended): Scan with the Baidu Drive app (no password · 2 seconds)

If your phone has the Baidu Drive app, this is the fastest and easiest — no need to recall passwords at all:

  1. Open the sign-in window: in Anxin Learn, tap [[Sign In to Baidu Drive]] — the official Baidu screen appears;
  2. Make sure the QR code shows: the window shows a QR code by default (if not, tap the top-right to switch to "Sign in with QR");
  3. Scan with your phone: open the "Baidu Drive" app → tap [[+]] or [[Scan]] in the top-right;
  4. Confirm on your phone: scan the QR code and tap [[Confirm & Authorize]];
  5. You're in, instantly: the tablet signs in automatically and lands right in your drive file list!

Method 2: SMS code sign-in (most universal)

No drive app installed, but you remember your bound phone number?

  1. Switch to SMS sign-in: tap "SMS sign-in" (or quick phone sign-in);
  2. Enter your phone number: type the 11-digit number bound to your Baidu Drive;
  3. Get the code: tap [[Get Code]] and enter the 6-digit SMS code;
  4. Done: tap sign in — authorized in seconds!

Method 3: Baidu account & password (traditional)

If you clearly remember your Baidu account (or username/email) and password:

  1. Enter credentials: type your account and password;
  2. Slider puzzle: complete the drag-to-match security check;
  3. Done: tap sign in to finish authorization.

2. Official Reassurance: Your Drive Files Are 100% Safe

Wondering: "After authorizing, will the app peek at my privacy or accidentally delete important files?"

[!IMPORTANT] Baidu's official standards

  1. Official OAuth 2.0: authorization happens entirely on Baidu's secure servers — Anxin Learn never asks for, and can never obtain, your account or password;
  2. Strictly read-only: the app only requests permission to browse directories and play audio/video — there is no code for deleting, modifying, renaming, or uploading anything;
  3. Originals untouched: renaming, categorizing, or deleting in the app happens only on your tablet — your Baidu Drive originals always stay 100% as they are!

3. FAQ & Sign-in Rescue

Q: The page stays white or keeps spinning after I tap sign in?

If network fluctuation slows the built-in authorization page, tap the "Refresh" button (🔄) in the top-right. If you use a VPN/proxy, it may interfere with the handshake to Baidu's security servers — temporarily turn it off and retry.

Q: Do I have to sign in again every time I open the app?

No! After one successful authorization, the token is stored securely on the tablet. Unless you change your Baidu Drive password or revoke the authorization on Baidu's side, your library loads instantly every time.

Q: How do I sign out or switch Baidu Drive accounts?

On the drive file browser, tap the avatar icon in the top-right and choose [[Sign Out]], then sign in again by scanning or entering another account.
