There are a bunch of fun alternative credentials we should explore. That includes:

2FA via OTP or WebAuthn
main credential via WebAuthn only
passwordless login (send email, click link)

webauthn-rs could be used to implement an experimental WebAuthN support. I was planning in using that to build my own auth server for a matrix based application that should have passwordless single factor authentication. Glad to see the plans for Authentication Services and better that the implementation is in Rust :)
