Login via API token only

Open pforhan opened this issue 13 years ago • 4 comments

Under certain circumstances, it's easier for me to get my api token than my password, and easier to send to my phone (ie, chrome2phone). It'd be nice to not have to type a long password if I can do this.

If I return to development on the app, I'll look at reinstating this. I took it out when 37signals switched to their new 37signals Accounts system, and it did drastically streamline my login and auth code. I can look at doing it again - but I do have to be honest and say that Campyre development isn't on my radar right now. I am very happy to merge in pull requests and publish updates to the Google Play market, though,

How would you like it to look? All one one screen, some sort of tabs, a button?

Hmm, it used to be a button that'd alter what textviews showed. It's probably not worth bringing in a whole tabs infrastructure - I would say, do whatever feels the simplest and least disruptive. I do expect that your case is the power-user-minority case, so it should still be just as easy to know what to do to sign in with a username/pass.

Maybe the app should just use OAuth for login, as in #108?
