Account create with QR Code: Talk is not able to import

[jakobroehrl]

If I create an account with the QR Methode / App Password I can't import this account on the Talk App. Other Apps with import/SSO methods do not work either.

Tested with 3 different phones. Latest Android version and NC 16.

If I create the account with user/password it works correct.

I transferred this to Talk. I assumes that QR code scanning is not yet implemented in Talk.

@tobiasKaminsky it's not, but this issue seems to be about something else.

@jakobroehrl I'll take a look but really the only way to properly create an account is through user/password via login flow. That being said, I thought QR method would work in this way @tobiasKaminsky ?

I think this issue is about this: Login via QR is

• login in web UI
• go to your personal settings -> security
• create a new app token
• "Show QR code for mobile apps"
• scan QR

The QR contains userId, url, app token.

And yes, this needs to be implemented by all apps.

Other Apps with import/SSO methods do not work either.

I think you mix something up. SSO means that you only login via Files app and then other apps, e.g. News app can use these credentials (after granting it).

I am confirming what @tobiasKaminsky writes; I can generate the token but cannot import it easily to the login screen (unless I paste the nc://... URL somewhere, cut out only the token itself and paste into the password field).

This doesn't work for me using the F-droid version of Talk.

Flow:

• Go to /settings/user/security
• Under Devices & sessions, I generate a new app password
• I scan the QR code, then copy the token from that
• Open Talk
• Enter instance URL
• Enter my username
• Paste the generated password
• Tap log in

Then it says wrong username or password

It will be really useful to have QR login option in android app - I using it widely in iOS and it simplified everything.

QR code login itself will be available in the next version. If there is something wrong afterwards, please create a new issue.
