1Password OTP app for Apple Watch
I’m not sure if this qualifies as a feature suggestion or an entirely new app idea, but I wanted to share it regardless. Considering AgileBits’ expertise in the field, I wonder if you could develop a standalone TOTP app that works seamlessly on the Apple Watch.
I choose not to use the built-in 2FA/OTP feature in 1Password because keeping all eggs in one basket defeats the purpose of using 2FA in the first place. However, the alternatives I’ve tried so far—such as Microsoft Authenticator and Google Authenticator—fall short when it comes to providing a good Apple Watch experience.
Here’s something every developer should consider: for us users, it’s much more convenient to glance at our wrist for an OTP code than to dig out our smartphone (which might even be in another room). When you’re entering OTPs multiple times a day, this small inconvenience becomes a big annoyance.
Currently, I’m using an OTP app from an indie developer because it offers the best Apple Watch support I’ve found, but I’d much prefer to trust a big name like AgileBits. If you were to release a standalone TOTP app that excels at Watch integration—such as showing the OTP relevant to the website I’m currently signing into on my browser—it would be a game-changer and make life so much easier.
