@t3chguy is this better?

[chagai95]

the conflicting credentials bit is concerning :(

Why is it concerning? if anyone can pick it up from here that'll also be great, it seems to work for us like this and it makes logging in much easier so I thought it'll be nice for you too, if the code isn't good I understand, hopefully someone else is interested in fixing this, otherwise I'll try myself sometime...

The code looks fine, but as mentioned in the review thread it can cause some conflicts with some credentials. I'd be very curious to see if the section-passphrase stuff works - if it does, we should use that, but otherwise this change as-is is probably fine too.

[chagai95]

I'll try giving it a look soon but would also appreciate if this PR is already merged as is, it's already extremely helpful for me on our fork and I'm sure many will profit from this is as even though it'll much better if it does not conflict.

No activity recently, and probably superseded by OIDC work.
