Automatic Copy to Clipboard #1257

I have a feature request to add a setting to the application to copy the code to the clipboard automatically. This would be a an on/off toggle within the settings.

For example (if touch is required):

  • Generate TOTP by clicking the "finger" button
  • 'Touch' YubiKey
  • Code is generated and automatically copied to clipboard (if the setting is "on")

I have searched other issues and wasn't able to find this feature request.

I am not amazing at coding, but I am following this application as I would like to support if I can. If anyone has any advice, I am open to suggestions. Otherwise, I will leave this up to the experts.

Thank you.

Double-clicking on the credential will (prompt you for touch if needed and) copy a code to the clipboard already. You can also use the keyboard to highlight a credential and copy a code with CTRL/CMD+C. Given those options are already supported I do not believe we want additional ones.

I see what you are saying. I wasn't aware of this feature and it's not quite intuitive (I have since found it on the Yubico website . I understand the desire to keep the app 'clean' so not wanting to add this as a new toggle, but maybe there is a way to make it more obvious?

For example, a tooltip when hovering over an account.
Or some information on the code generation screen:

"Did you know, double clicking the account will generate and copy the code"

TOTP's are a pain regardless, but until a provider switches to FIDO2, etc. we should make it obvious how to quickly and easily use codes.
