Keyguard on Wear OS

Keyguard ships a Wear OS app, so your vault — and your one-time passwords — are available on your wrist without taking the phone out of your pocket.

Setup

Install Keyguard on both the phone and the watch (it comes with the same Google Play listing). The watch does not sign in to your server on its own; instead it asks the paired phone for access. Start the flow on the watch, then authorize it from your phone, choosing which account to share. From then on the watch keeps its own synced copy of the vault.

For KeePass accounts the watch receives a one-time copy of the database; picking a local database from the watch itself is not supported.

What you can do on the watch

  • browse the vault and your favorites;
  • open an item and read its fields, including the current one-time password;
  • view sends;
  • use the generator;
  • serve credentials to apps running on the watch through the credential provider.

Good to know

The watch app is a viewer-style companion — editing items still happens on the phone or desktop. Two-factor methods that need a browser or hardware key (WebAuthn, Duo, YubiKey) are likewise unavailable on the watch, which is one more reason authorization runs through the phone.
