QRCode for passwords #37

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Hi,

a nice feature would be, if I could let me show the password as a qrcode, so that my phone could scan it.

Thanks

Hey,

Can you be a little more specific? Does your phone allows you to scan a QR code instead of typing text when you fill a field?

I don't think its possible to generate a QR code within the Terminal, it might need to open an actual image to do that.

Really simple, on click I want to see a qrcode image with the system image viewer. After 15 seconds the app will be closed and the images will be destroyed. I could scan with a qrcode app on my phone the code and get the password, so I must not send via mail,jabber oder something else the password, when I need it for a app or a site.

Is there any new streps here?

I looked into it and was not able to think of a solution that had a good user workflow.

If you have a python proof of concept, feel free to submit it
