User management and login enhancement #488

Closed shadowjig closed 3 months ago

shadowjig commented 3 months ago

Create a user management system. Basic Auth doesn't work with some password managers. So it's a pain to access the web page with long secure passwords. Also it would remove one less barrier to setting up Owntracks (for example setting up basic auth with a reverse proxy). Also this user management system could be used to admin shared geofences, you could group people together, and add the encryption phrases.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think we will be doing this. The Recorder shouldn't be managing users; it was never designed with that in mind and that task ought to be left to code which fronts the Recorder.

I am marking this as a duplicate of https://github.com/owntracks/quicksetup/issues/55

Where can I request a feature that fronts the recorder?

You have already requested it, here. At least that's the way I understand your above request.

Now all you have to do is find someone who's willing to implement it. I don't know where you'll find that person. :-)
