He’s probably talking about how other SmartApps save your password in app settings. This app is different, though, because it just passes you straight through to login via Samsung. There is no way for this app to save that information (nor would you want it to do so) because it’s directly accessing your core account and IDE.
But at the same time, I do agree it’s super annoying to have to log in every time; in my case, I have to put info in twice because of the weird Samsung account redirecting. It would be bearable of the browser would at least save the info or allow lastpass population, but it doesn’t, probably because of what @veeceeoh said about the sandboxed browser. Maybe ST could make the change to the underlying SmartThings mobile app so it opens up a more flexible browser for us.
That 2nd page that comes up to enter email and PW again is the same page that you get if you fat finger your pw when logging into IDE. You get this no matter what when it is initiated from within the ST app. I don’t mind having to login each time, but entering my credentials 2x each time is annoying as hell.
I think he may be using a Password vault like LASTPASS. For some reason LASTPASS does not populate the Smartthings credentials from within your app. No big deal if you know how to access your info and copy/paste.
It won’t auto populate, but if you hit the share button and tap on lastpass it will show your smartthings passwords and offer you to copy username or password
Ah, I see what you mean, Still, you can only copy one thing at a time, so it ends up involving so many taps it’s not much better than manually typing it in. When I think Lastpass, I think of one tap to populate all login fields. I know there’s not much you can do about that, though.
agreed… if you try that same maneuver on a ipad it will crash the whole ST app.
I’m working on seeing if there is a better way to handle the samsung logins
Sorry bout that. Stupid typo
I have one more smart app update coming that will allow you to choose whether to use embedded web-view or your mobile app browser.
The update i pushed out to the smartapp earlier addresses the double login for samsung users.
Ok i just updated the SmartApp to allow selecting between Embedded browser and External Browser.
Also fixed the double login for Samsung Accounts as well.
