Token as QR-Code

[DL6ER]

If you are willing to implement this, I can look into adding a QR code (or something similar) on the settings page which can be used to transfer the password token painlessly to your app.

QR code could be awesome, I would really appreciate it!

EDIT: I'm saving this https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-qrscanner here.

New QR code (less error-correction, (25% instead of 30%) with much faster generation):

That's good, I see that you pass also "WEBPASSWORD="

Do you think that it's possible to pass only the string after "=", so this:

WEBPASSWORD=123456

become this:

123456

[DL6ER]

Sure that is possible, I'd though about it as a security measure for you so people cannot scan just something. Let me know what you prefer.

I think that you can pass only the string, there's no security problem on app side :+1:

I suggest to use Google Charts:

https://developers.google.com/chart/infographics/docs/qr_codes

Example:

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=450x450&cht=qr&chl=123456&choe=UTF-8

Why use an external service for this when we can do everything locally?

The pull request has been merged and the API token will be available with Pi-hole web interface v2.5 (to be released within the next few days).
