That&#8217;s the reason why your WearOS watch can&#8217;t connect to a phone <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Google&nbsp;delisted my 2FA Hub ( formerGACW ) app from Play Store quoting alleged&nbsp;infringement on Fitbit&#8217;s IP. I appealed, but they didn&#8217;t answer my messages. The issue is pending since 06\/28\/2023. I think they simply continue&nbsp;killing the Fitbit platform and its ecosystem this way:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/ways-google-ruined-fitbit\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/ways-google-ruined-fitbit\/&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry for the inconvenience, but there is not much I can do with monopolists playing the hard ball.

Probably I&#8217;ll have to create a new one if Google keeps ignoring my questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purpose<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>An idea was to have&nbsp;a Google Auth\/2FA TOTP Client running on all Android, Apple, Fitbit and Samsung watches with companion apps running on iPhone or Android. It includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Contemporary high end Android phones running ver 6.0 or higher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>iPhones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contemporary Samsung Gear devices such as Gear S2, S3, Sport, Galaxy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apple&nbsp;watches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Android Wear watches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fitbit Versa and Ionic watches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The major benefit is that it integrates phone&#8217;s, Wear and Gear&#8217;s 2FA apps in a single solution and allows transferring accounts between peers in any direction: from phone to&nbsp;watch or vise versa. There is no need for Google&#8217;s stock app anymore, because the companion includes all GA functionality and adds features that stock GA app is currently missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The companion&nbsp;allows scanning Google&#8217;s QR bar code, which is a client\/server shared secret used for generating one time passwords (OTP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the Android&#8217;s companion can be also used to backup and restore all 2FA accounts. Backups could be encrypted using a password based encryption (PBE) with HMAC signature&nbsp;intended for verifying&nbsp;&nbsp;backup&#8217;s integrity (e.g. signature verification will fail if a password is not valid).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plain backups are also supported, but not recommended,&nbsp;since they are stored in Android&#8217;s &#8220;Download&#8221; directory that can be accessed by other applications that are granted &#8220;read storage&#8221; permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Dropbox for backup\/restore operations&nbsp;makes&nbsp;syncing accounts across all your Android, Gear and Wear devices simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"start\">&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where and How to Start<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a 2FA account on your phone using this app, you&#8217;ll need a shared secret, which is a Base32 code generated by your 2FA provider. How to get that code depends on a provider and the code is generated at the time when you enable 2FA in your web app. Instructions for getting the code for all Google accounts are provided here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-credelius wp-block-embed-credelius\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"CLX09gRbPy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/?p=108\">How to get Google&#8217;s 2-step verification key<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to get Google&#8217;s 2-step verification key&#8221; &#8212; Credelius\" src=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/?p=108&#038;embed=true#?secret=MafmKig1mV#?secret=CLX09gRbPy\" data-secret=\"CLX09gRbPy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, those instructions change often, so the best way is to read recent 2FA enabling instructions for each provider. The app was tested and actively used with the following 2FA providers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Amazon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WordPress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twitter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fastcomet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DHS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sonic Internet Provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AWS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sophos VPN<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Cloud (GCP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G Suite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft and&nbsp;their Azure products are supported with&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;use a different authenticator&#8221;&nbsp;<\/strong>app option that you need to chose when enable 2FA<a href=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image-4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-551\" src=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"548\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image-4.png 548w, https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/image-4-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of websites supporting 2FA grows fast and the list above will grow as well.

Choose this one if you want to have an authenticator that works as a standalone app on an Android phone, or if you want an Android phone and Gear app to work together.&nbsp;The Android app is free,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;2FA Hub for multiple watches &#8211; former GACW&#8221; is very similar to the first one, except that in addition to Gear, it supports Android Wear, Fitbit  and Garmin devices as well. It also doesn&#8217;t have any ads. Choose this one if you need support for both Gear&nbsp;and&nbsp;Wear or Fitbit  and Garmin devices, don&#8217;t like ads, and don&#8217;t mind&nbsp;to spend&nbsp;$2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New 2FA Hub integrated with iPhones. Use this one if your mobile device is iPhone. It does require iPhone&#8217;s companion with the same name, which costs $4 in Apple App Store<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose Right App in Samsung Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are&nbsp;three GAC apps&nbsp;in Samsung&#8217;s App store, and the guidance below will help you to to select the right one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. First Client for 2FA TOTP Google Authenticator without Android&#8217;s companion was created in 2015, supports many legacy devices such as Gear, Gear 2, Gear Neo, and Gear S, along with newer Gear S2, Gear S3, and Gear Sport. Use this application only is you need support for legacy devices. If you&nbsp;have S2, S3 or Gear Sport, consider other two choices. This app is completely free now, but is not actively supported and will be deprecated soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. 2FA Hub (former GAC) with Companion was created in 2017, supports Gear S2, S3 and Sport only, and requires Android&#8217;s companion to work. Use this app if you&nbsp;have S2, S3, Sport, or Galaxy and like additional Android&#8217;s companion features such as bar code scanning and backups,&nbsp;<strong>and don&#8217;t need support for Android&#8217;s Wear and Fitbit devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. &#8220;2FA Hub for multiple watches (former GACW) was created in 2018, has the same functionality as &#8220;2FA Hub&#8221;, but in addition, it also supports Android&#8217;s Wear, Fitbit and Garmin devices. Use this app if you have Gear S2, S3, Sport or Galaxy, and need support for other watches mentioned above. It&#8217;s free in Samsung store, but Android companion will cost you $2 in Play Store, so in the end the price is the same as for 2FA Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Finally if you use iPhone, use newer 2FA Hub app for iPhone. Check the app&#8217;s description to make sure that you download the right app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supported Phones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>All Android Phones with Android version 7.01 and higher should be supported<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>iPhones are supported&nbsp;through a separate application called 2FA Hub, available in Apple&#8217;s AppStore<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supported&nbsp;Smartwatches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following Gear devices are supported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Gear S2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gear S3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gear Sport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Galaxy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gear Fit 2 and Pro (GACW app only)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The following&nbsp;Fitbit devices are supported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Ionic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versa Light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versa 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versa 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sense<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Theoretically, all Android Wear devices should be supported by GACW as well.

We will gladly merge versions as soon as Samsung changes their policies (the best scenario) or when we decide to stop supporting legacy devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung doesn&#8217;t support Samsung Accessory Protocol&nbsp;for iPhone&#8217;s and that requires creating a different watch app to support&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/2fa-hub\/id1538363570\">2FA Hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is an error message, which is caused by an attempt to add a companion-based binary to the old non-companion style app<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/com-app-err.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/com-app-err-300x96.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/com-app-err-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/com-app-err.png 538w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"swatch\">Adding New Account from Android on Gear or Galaxy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a new account from the phone you&#8217;ll need to select &#8220;Connect to Phone&#8221; menu on Gear first:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/menu.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/menu-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/menu-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/menu-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/menu-90x90.png 90w, https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/menu.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Pic 1.

You can use plain unencrypted backup by unchecking &#8220;Encrypt backup&#8221; option in Settings, but that option is strongly discouraged. If you want your app to remember the password, use &#8220;Remember password&#8221; option in Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A button located&nbsp;below &#8220;From Watch&#8221; title can&nbsp;be used to restore phone&#8217;s accounts directly from a watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The backups that are not needed anymore can be deleted by selecting them in the backup list and pressing a &#8220;trash&#8221; button on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saving accounts to a backup file is similar and has two options as well: encrypted and unencrypted backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dropbox can be used to backup and restore accounts as well.

The MP3 file will be created in Music directory that can be used by Samsung&#8217;s Gear App for transferring it further to your Gear device, where the file can be used to initialize the accounts through &#8220;Init from File&#8221; menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wwgear\">Working with Samsung Watch<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Token Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After accounts have been imported to the watch, they will appear in the main menu.

The issue was attributed to&nbsp;the&nbsp;&#8220;new behavior&#8221; of Android 8.0 and is considered by many as a platform bug:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/48072438\/java-lang-illegalstateexception-only-fullscreen-opaque-activities-can-request-o\">https:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/48072438\/java-lang-illegalstateexception-only-fullscreen-opaque-activities-can-request-o<\/a>. That issue has been fixed in GAC version 3.4.1. Please report if you still see this problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Progress bar might not work correctly on some older Android&#8217;s phone models: it didn&#8217;t go all the way to the end and didn&#8217;t refresh the tokens. The issue has been fixed in GAC version 3.4.0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There was a complain that camera can&#8217;t scan QR code on Pixel 2. Unfortunately, no details have been provided. Research has shown that Pixel 2 had many problems with camera in other apps as well. One suggestions was to use 16:9 resolution, which I did for Pixel2 and Pixel 2 XL devices only. Try Android&#8217;s version 3.4.5+ and let me know if it works. A ticket was opened with Google to investigate the issue, but they are very slow and I don&#8217;t have any confidence that they will ever find or fix it:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/issuetracker.google.com\/issues\/77754219\">https:\/\/issuetracker.google.com\/issues\/77754219<\/a>.<br><strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;The latest message from Google was that it does work on Pixel and other Google devices. If you still have problems with those, please provide details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No support for Lollipop and lower versions. I&#8217;ve created a debug version for Lollipop. Try it and let me know if it works. If it doesn&#8217;t, please provide details and a log file (adb logcat -d &gt;log.txt). You can install it from here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/app-debug.apk\">https:\/\/credelius.com\/credelius\/app-debug.apk<\/a>&nbsp;(simply click on the link from your phone&#8217;s browser). You&#8217;ll need to enable install from 3rd parties to make it work: Settings-&gt;Security-&gt;Unknown Sources. I&#8217;ll merge that version with the main branch if see a need for Lollipop and a positive feedback. So far I&#8217;ve seen only one user who wanted it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Under Investigation (happens rarely)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Sometimes tapping on GAC widget doesn&#8217;t start the GAC app. If you see &#8220;Launching app&#8221; message too long and nothing happens, just tap the widget again. The root cause of the problem has not been identified yet. It could be platform related.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On a very rare occasion, GAC widget can stop working and won&#8217;t react on a tap. It&#8217;s not clear why it&#8217;s happening,&nbsp;and reproducing is not possible, since it&#8217;s a very rare event. A work around for now: long press the widget and remove it, then add again. We&#8217;ll fix as soon as find a reason. It could be platform related.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest Update: 2FA Hub works with WearOS 3 devices The app for WearOS watches was changed to support Wear OS 3 devices.
