Authenticate new session of another client application #3775

Closed yookoala closed 2 weeks ago

yookoala commented 2 weeks ago

Your use case

What would you like to do?

When I login with a new client, an already login Element X should be able to authenticate the session login.

Why would you like to do it?

I do not want to keep installing both Element and Element X on my device. I am forced to do it (especially because I use unofficial desktop client that it cannot do session authentication).

How would you like to achieve it?

When I use a new client to login, it would ask me to use existing an client session to authenticate the new one. I would like to do the emoji or QR code check with an already login Element X.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Yes, but it doesn't work if I want to only use Element X on my phone. I also don't think secret key (Or whatever it is called officially. The naming is so inconsistent for users) is a user friendly way to do session authentication.

Additional context

I cannot find existing issue about this. Please let me know if this is duplicated l.

Are you willing to provide a PR?

No
