Failed to open from url field in Secure Note
I created a new Secure Note to store some details about a new 2FA configuration. I added a field for the QR code image, entered the url and set the field type to URL.
When I save the note and click on the URL field, I get an error message ( this is a sanitized version of the URL that reproduces the problem ) :
Failed to Open
Failed to launch browser for the url: https://www.google.com/chart?chs=200x200&chld=M|0&cht=qr&chl=otpauth://totp/name@host%3Fsecret%3DHZ5OI7GIIXLFQRCA
I was expecting 1p to open Chrome to this page. Chrome is able to open this page if I copy/paste the url.

Hi @justinpitts -- try setting the field to
One Time Password-- that's the specific language convention we follow (comes from TOTP, or "Time-based One-Time Password"0 -
That is a fascinating bit of functionality. It displays the OTP with a countdown, just like my authenticator apps. That's cool!
...and not to be ungrateful, but it's also not what I wanted, nor does it address my concern. I pasted a perfectly good url into a url field, and it doesn't work.

@justinpitts -- well, as you can see from the encoding in our forum here (we use Vanilla), they don't think this is a "perfectly good URL," either. You can see in your original post the point at which it goes from an encoded URL to plaintext -- it's not a lowercase L or a capital I -- that's a vertical pipe, which is likely what's causing things to choke. If you're interested in replacing that with a
%7C, it should perform as you expect it to. :)0 -
Your forum software isn't something I entrust my secrets to, so that comparison isn't useful to me.
I'm pretty sensitive to how 1p handles my input. I hold it to a higher standard.
Chrome ( and firefox, and safari, and Opera) handled it, and I've written software that url encodes input when necessary.
I do understand now why it behaves this way. Thank you for that.
