Accept otpauth URIs from binary eye

[thomassth]

Right now there is no in built QR code scanner for setting up new 2FA codes.

A workaround is to use third-party QR code scanner Eg. Binary Eye to retrieve the otpauth URI from QR code.

NOTE: problem identified as something else, this quoted part is now irrelevant. See comments below

However there is no support for opening otpauth URI. I need to copy it manually and set up the rest in KeepassDX.

Proposed workflow:

A website presents the otpauth URI in QR code:
otpauth://totp/{WEBSITE}:{ACCOUNT}?secret={SECRET}%issuer={WEBSITE DOMAIN}

User scans and clicks the link in QR scanner app, KeepassDX opens and prompt for authentication.

(Or create an in-app QR scanner for this purpose)

After unlocking the vault, the address is parsed into an entry

Title: {WEBSITE}
Username: {ACCOUNT}
otp: (directly copy the entire otpauth address)

User confirms the entry and saves it.

This is normal, because it would be necessary to include a library and it is one format among others, I prefer that KeePassDX only manages the links shared by the dedicated applications, which manage coded images much better.

This functionality is normally already included. Otpauth URIs are already managed in KeePassDX when sharing a link from another application.

I tested with QR & Barcode scanner and it works. Not sure with Binary Eye, to be checked.

Code : https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/blob/60ba058515144b247018df7bcf55b53d0d6b0efd/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L161

After some tests, I found that binary eye had a different way to parse otpauth. Should be related to this file, but I don't understand much: BinaryEye/app/src/main/kotlin/de/markusfisch/android/binaryeye/actions/otpauth/OtpauthAction.kt If you share the otpauth as plain text over to KeePassDX, the function works just fine.

Apparently, after an update at Binary Eye, the function works as intended. I'll close the issue here.
