Transfers credentials between networked and air-gapped devices using QR codes as the transport channel. Supports two directions: generating a QR code from stored credentials for a device to scan, and decoding a QR code from a camera image to extract credentials. Nothing crosses a network.
Using the camera as the credential transport eliminates all network exposure, which no password manager sync or USB transfer can guarantee for truly isolated environments.
When to Use It
- Logging into an air-gapped server with credentials from a password manager
- Moving admin credentials to an isolated lab machine
- Importing credentials printed as a QR code on hardware
- Sharing a vault entry with an offline kiosk
- Transferring a Wi-Fi password to a device with no keyboard

# QR Password — Air-Gapped Credential Bridge
Bidirectional credential transfer using QR codes as an optical channel. No secret touches a network.
## Security Rules (MANDATORY)
- **Never log credentials to chat history or memory files**
- **Redact passwords from all conversation output** — show `****` instead
- **Auto-clear canvas display after 30 seconds** using timed canvas hide
- **QR images are ephemeral** — delete after use with `rm`
- **Never store decoded credentials in any file**
## Mode A: Vault → QR (Outbound)
Generate a QR code from a credential for an air-gapped device to scan.
```bash
echo '{"username":"USER","password":"PASS","domain":"DOMAIN"}' | \
python3 skills/qr-password/scripts/generate-qr.py /tmp/qr-out.png
```
Then display via canvas and auto-clear:
```
canvas present /tmp/qr-out.png
# Wait 30s
canvas hide
rm /tmp/qr-out.png
```
When reporting to user, say "QR displayed" — never echo the password.
## Mode B: Camera → Credential (Inbound)
Read a QR code from a camera image to extract credentials.
1. Capture image: `nodes camera_snap` (or accept user-provided image)
2. Decode:
```bash
python3 skills/qr-password/scripts/read-qr.py /path/to/image.png
```
3. Output is JSON: `{"username":"...","password":"...","domain":"..."}`
4. Use the credential (fill, copy, deliver) — **never echo password to chat**
5. Delete the image: `rm /path/to/image.png`
## Offline QR Generator
For air-gapped devices, provide `assets/qr-generator.html` — a standalone offline HTML page that generates QR codes locally in-browser. No network required.
## Dependencies
Python 3 with: `qrcode`, `Pillow`, `opencv-python-headless`
Install: `python3 -m pip install --user qrcode Pillow opencv-python-headless`
