Description Felipe Kinoshita 2021-01-11 18:32:06 UTC

This would be similar to what you can do with an apple watch with a mac.

OBSERVED RESULT
when some program asks for your password nothing happens with the kdeconnect android app.

EXPECTED RESULT
when some program asks for your password, you could receive a notification saying "password for <program_name>: AGREE | DON'T AGREE" or something like that.

This is a feature request and not a bug.

Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2021-01-13 18:09:33 UTC

We also use this bug tracker to file feature requests. That's why the severity is set to "wishlist".

> when some program asks

This would require there to be a consistent autofill framework on Linux. The only two things I can think of to try and support this is writing extensions for Google Chrome and PolicyKit. The rest of the ecosystem is hopelessly fragmented, if those apps support autofill at all. Therefore, I don't think this feature is feasible

Making it work just with PolicyKit would be amazing!
