This is a thing now. Might be worth implementing for passwordless login.

Note that the server side of this can't be implemented via ejabberd's existing extauth API (which only supports password logins, and even the pseudo-OTP I made with ejabberd-auth-php is just a dirty hack).

Supporting true SASL EXTERNAL requires an actual ejabberd module, so basically this isn't happening for now.
