A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It sounds like a cool concept, but I can't see anyone migrating to this service since there is no logical way to import your current passwords.

Am I missing something?

See my response a few comments down this thread. I found the counter and password-template too. I don't have an iphone so I can't test the app, but I very much think this app stores the 'settings' (counter, template) to generate the password. Based on what the api and CLI can do.... it has to, surely. It also has the ability to retrieve a custom password.

Of course the webapp in the link doesn't do all of that. You're stuck with 1 password in 1 format. Unless you change your secret and then all your passwords change.
