WearOS app

Feature Requests Password Manager
21

Hi, also looking for this as my smartwatch is almost always on me. Should my phone not be charged or available, being able to still log in with just my watch is a great feature.

  • User Convenience: Quick access to 2FA codes and passwords directly on the wrist without needing a phone.
  • Security: Enhanced security with wearable-based 2FA and approval workflows.
  • Market Demand: Growing user base for Wear OS and competition with other password managers that already support it.
  • Ecosystem Expansion: Completes the Bitwarden experience across all devices, making it more appealing to tech-savvy users.
  • Technical Feasibility: Lightweight app leveraging existing Bitwarden APIs.

It’s been 2 years already, is there any progress in developing the app for Wear OS?

Authenticator Pro is truly excellent, Bitwarden could take many design cues from it

Edit I realise this is in the password section, really it is the authenticator app that needs a wear os app. I don’t think I ever want to type a password in manually based on what is displayed on my watch.

If BW refuses to acknowledge this need in the community, others will do it for them. Case in point, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.penguinstudios.passwordmanagerwearos

WearOS 5.1 now supports the API for CredentialManager and as you can see there’s an option to configure the Password manager which right now is Google’s

Another vote! I can’t believe we don’t have this. If I could have 2fa on the watch I’d probably pay for premium.

I would like to have this app on my WearOS smartwatch too. Use my watch as passkey instead of my phone would be great idea!

I don’t just want a 2FA app.
I want to be able to view my passwords from my WearOS watch.

A companion app that allows you to view passwords on your watch would be amazing for cases where you need to enter your password on devices that can’t have Bitwarden installed (ie devices that aren’t yours).

Me gustaría un montón que añadieran Bitwarden a Wear OS definitivamente cada vez estoy mås convencido de utilizar mås el reloj que el teléfono y incorporando una app tan importante como la de ustedes a la tienda de aplicaciones de Wear OS todo sería mås fåcil

Por favor desarrollen la app para Wear OS

Translation (Google Translate):

"I would really like to see Bitwarden added to Wear OS. I’m definitely becoming more convinced that I’ll use my watch more than my phone, and adding an app as important as yours to the Wear OS app store would make everything easier.

Please develop the app for Wear OS."

Disappointed to see this was originally requested in 2023 and there’s still been no movement on it. I guess I can somewhat understand given there’s been 36 votes on it, but how many people out there want this but don’t even know they can vote on here?

I won’t be buying a Samsung watch again and I encourage others to do the same. They’ve bricked SHM-MOD with the new update, killing BP and ECG for anyone without a Samsung phone. It’s a hostile, anticompetitive move designed to force ecosystem lock-in. Shout out to Dante63/ITDev93 for the incredible work keeping it running this long, but I’m out. If the strategy is “buy a Samsung phone or lose out,” I choose to simply buy nothing.

Welcome, @unmade452 to the community!

That is a fair, but unanswerable question. A related, answerable observation is that with 36 votes, it is in ~200th place amongst those who do know they can vote.

You can move it up about 3 places if you spend about 30 minutes browsing the community to elevate yourself from “new user” to “basic user” and then returning back to this feature request and clicking the blue vote button at the very top of the topic.
