Cannot find QRCode for setting up mobile clients

📱 Desktop & mobile clients 🤖 Android
1

I’ve found this: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/429 and this https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/3383 and it looks like the mobile app has QRCode scanner built in for easier client setup, but I cannot find where in my Nextcloud server are those QRCode for client setup… I’m using Nextcloud 15.0.4. When i create new app password/token i still have it in text form and there is no QRCode to scan…

Should I enable something or what ? Cause I cannot find anything about this in the documentation… or even what text should this QRCode contain…

Unfortunately you haven’t fully read the mentioned issue tickets. The function requires
a server part to be integrated which has been scheduled for Nextcloud v16 :wink:

In Nextcloud version 19.0.3, in order to generate a QR code to quickly log into your Nextcloud server without entering URL, username or password, take the following steps:

  • go to https://nextcloud.yourdomain.com/settings/user/security
  • scroll down to the bottom of the page
  • click the “App name” field and enter a name that your mobile client app will show up as in your “Devices & Sessions” list (just above)
  • click the “Create new app password” button
    Cattura
    A QR code will then be generated.
  • go to your mobile app, tap the QR icon and scan the QR code. Done.

what has failed to mention is the “Create new app password” button is only available to the logged in account.

If you are an administrator and Impersonate a user, this button is not available to you.

is it a bug or a feature? :wink:

Doesn’t seem to exist for LDAP accounts, either.
