Connect via ID instead of qr code.

[rattailgamer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Berty product

Mobile app

Feature request

An ID that can be entered instead of scanning the QR code. Also the option to scan from a picture would eb nice.

Context

I to give my connection to someone on the other side of the world. So it would be nice if I could tell them an ID that they could enter instead of the QR code. Also I have another high security device that doesn't have a camera or microfon, so I can`t use the app on that device anyways.

Possible implementation

No response

Hi @rattailgamer ! thank you for reaching out.

We understand the use of having another way besides the QR code to connect to another user. For the moment we do not have the bandwidth to add a more straightforward and also secure way of sharing contacts.

However, there is a way you can do this by sharing an URL with the other user. These are the steps to follow:

1. Click on +
   

2. Click on the link
   

3. Copy the link and send it to the person you want to connect with via another secure mail/message app
