Add the ability to show passwords as QR codes for easier use on mobile #25

Closed fhd closed 7 years ago

I need to use some of the passwords generated by easypasswords in mobile apps. Currently that requires me to type the passwords out, which is annoying and error prone.

The best way to get the passwords on mobile is probably an app. But until there is one, a hack could do the trick: You could add an option to display passwords as a QR codes in the extension. Then the passwords could make their way into the mobile device's clipboard through any common barcode scanner app, which is more convenient than typing the passwords out.

On the other hand, a third party app will get access to the passwords this way, I'm not 100% sure if it's a good idea.
