Are there any plans to allow a "show as QR code" option for passwords?

Right now, I can choose from the following options when using my passwords in the 1PW desktop app: "copy", "Show in Large Type", and "Check for Vulnerable Password".

Are there any plans to add another option, "Show as QR Code"?

    Now, that's an interestingly new suggestion. I don't believe I have seen it mentioned before. I'd be happy to bring it up with the team.

    Hi all. I was wondering if there has been any further internal discussion about this and if there is any plans to add this feature.

    Just curious really... but what would be the use case for showing passwords as QR codes? Just trying to understand in what scenario it would be useful.

    Example: making it easy for guests to access your (guest) Wi-Fi network.

    @occamsrazor:

    It's typically used to fill a password quickly on a device without having to type the password. So far I have seen it a few times with WiFi network passwords, for example.
