Allow oauth token to authenticate user in chat

[Moseco]

I have gone through the process described in the oauth.md documentation. From what I can tell this token can only be used to get user information from /api/userinfo?token=$TOKEN, as described in the documentation. But it cannot be used to authenticate the user in the chat by sending it as a cookie with the name authtoken as described in profile->developer section->connections page.

While creating a token/login key using the website on the same page as above does allow the user to authenticate with the chat.

From digging around a bit it seems to caused here by not allowing auth tokens with a clientID.

Is it possible to extend the capability of the oauth generated token to authenticate with the chat?

Thanks!

This is by design, you need to generate logon keys to use chat. Logon key generation is not supported via oauth, has to done by the user at $website/profile/developer

Is it possible for that process to be made more user friendly? For example, a client sends the user to a page to confirm the use of a login key, and then a url redirect can send them back to the client with the login key. (Sorry if this already exists and I have missed it)

No this is an anti-abuse measure
