Can you link to a Database Item in StrongBox?

Is it possible to generate links that can open StrongBox to an entry in my Database? I'm starting to create documentation for various things in my technical life in Obsidian and it would be great to include links to the passwords that are stored in Strong Box without compromising the secrets themselves.

It would be even more sublime if the same link would work on macOS and iOS opening the entry in the respective StrongBox apps.

Something like strongbox://<uuid> URL scheme (or strongbox://search?uuid=<uuid> to give more flexibility in the future) might be a good idea. Similar to KeePass2’s —uuid parameter.

EDIT: If this gets implemented, it would totally go well with support for the Shortcuts app. So that we can have Siri open the database, search for an entry and spell out the password.

Seems to require 2 items of functionality:

• Ability to search for a string
• Ability to open a particular item

I schemes I have seen Alfred 1Password

scheme://search/?query

scheme://entryOritem/UUID

Keepass2Android seems to be using a content://path/to/database.kdbx schema (also a legacy file:// schema):

https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/blob/master/src/keepass2android/Properties/AndroidManifest_net.xml#L118-L150

But this is only for opening a specific database, not for deep-linking to a specific entry. So this is just for inspiration. ;)

This would be really useful to use with shortcuts to get a secret +1

I came here searching for this feature. This would be very helpful to me as well!

Is there any update on this I wonder?

[strongbox-mark]

Hoping to get to this in the next couple of months or so.

Really looking forward to this, thanks Mark! Shortcuts are getting more and more powerful each iOS iteration, I can already see how this helps me.

Exactly what I've been looking for. Are we getting closer to this feature? 😁

Wanted to assign the action button on iPhone 15 to do different things when I have different essentials app opened. Like open specific entry when I'm in a bank A app, another when in bank B app. Some banking apps are just ridiculous, they don't offer password autofill.

Unfortunately no progress here, still planned, but Passkeys and other features are taking precedence.

Hi! Would love to know if there's an update on this 😊

[strongbox-mark]

No news here I'm afraid, we've got a few other things in the pipeline...
