Here is a little demo from Enpass :

It shows the service , the digits of the codes and a countdown .

The main menu looks so :

Thanks I do like the idea, but it'll be down the roadmap a bit

[user858753257]

Great 👌

[user858753257]

@mmcguill can you say something about the actual roadmap status for the watch app ? 😉

I'm afraid the only thing I can say is it's at least 3 months before I can even look into it...

Is it just for TOTP codes?

[user858753257]

in my usecase yes . This is the only reason why I have Enpass installed parallel to Strongbox at the moment 😊

A little more info on usage / how this feature might work:

Dropping in to say this would be a really appealing feature. OTP codes on your wrist would be a fantastic option.

It might be possible to do something about the OTP codes, for example export them to a Watch App from your database. This seems like an easier task than doing a full unlock on the Watch.

I have not built a Watch app before, and I wonder about the hardware capabilities, of doing something like a full decrypt of a database on the watch itself. This might be problematic.

However, exporting the seed/parameters for TOTP codes in some secure fashion, and displaying them on the watch seems like an easier task...

That said, this still needs to be researched, and I don't have a good estimate for when I can get around to that. It's still a niche/nice to have feature.

Hi,

Is there any news about an apple watch app? for OTP, would be great, also for passwords to some extent (to be defined)

[cedbeu]

Apple watch is definitely a companion to the iPhone, so, I don't think the app would need to be full-featured, just to communicate with the iOS app...

[strongbox-mark]

No news on this I'm afraid, it's still a little out on our roadmap.

Ah ok, thanks for answer. That would be lovely anyway. I am a former 1password vet and this is one of the 3 features that would make strongbox covering 100% of the former's featureset (+ the extras strongbox offers of course). I'll keep following...
