I would like a format for setting up an account on an android phone from a QR code on the server web page.

Ideally, that the "new app password" link would create a QR code with an embedded

Sorry @MorrisJobke ... nextcloud/android#253 we implemented and shipped support for this (in case a QR reader is installed on the phone) nearly a year ago 😁

Damn...I was too late ;-)

Took me a while to find the pull request again ;) - Implemented in last year's hack week at the Nextcloud conference 🚀

@MorrisJobke you still need to implement the server side...

[AndyScherzinger]

also pining @nextcloud/ios for custom URL support

@MorrisJobke We do something like this:

nextcloud://login/user:<username>&password:<password>&server:<serveraddress>

While atm we use cloud:// which is a build config value so we should decide which one to use and if the URL pattern is fine for everyone. We should keep the "login" key word so we can add further magic urls e.g. for app deep links :)

@AndyScherzinger the server already implements (and the client, to a degree) support for web-based login via nc://login/ mechanism, so I guess the pattern is nc:// ;)

The iOS app implements the same :)

simply use:

qrencode url:username:password -o code.png

and just embed the resulting qrcode into the webpage. Easy.
