Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/1089

We can use SimpleWebAuthn to set this up, but it is not particularly simple to set up. This would be an optional replacement for passwords, so the database schema would need to be updated to support switching between the two credentials. (Maybe we should switch the accounts DB to JSON to make it easier to handle? See also actualbudget/actual#1091 which would be a reason to stick with SQL.)

Should this be linked in Actual as a feature so it can be voted on before we work on it?
