Requested Feature Usage Scenario
While the QR code is great for a mobile app first time connection workflow. Connecting apps on the same computer or device without a camera still requires the user to copy and paste a password out of the connection info dialog.
This change would make connecting apps simpler for the end user. As a bonus it would allow a streamer to safely connect an app while live without potentially leaking their websocket password.
