Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is very troublesome to enter the password every time you log in to a different device. It would be great if users could log in through their logged in devices by scanning the QR code of the target device.

Describe the solution you'd like

able to login an account by a logged in account using QR code

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not limited to the QR code but any method that can login an account by an account is appreciated.

Additional context

You can already do this using one time token plugin. generate the token on one device and make a qr code that'll be scanned by the other device and then validate that on the backend

@Bekacru one problem with this approach is that now the two devices share fate on that session. Logging out on ones logs the other out. What's the right way around this?

an outbound webhooks/events plugin seems like a natural ask given how many people need to fan auth events out to other systems.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
