QR code for API token #640

Open JGeek00 opened 4 months ago

I think it would be a good idea to add a QR code with the token next to the current API token field. I'm creating a mobile client for Linkding and for the users it would be much easier to just scan the QR code with the phone, and then the app to autofill the token on the text field, than entering on the web app from the phone and copying the token from there.

Sounds like a decent use-case, but could also be confusing for users that use the extension and then wonder what to do with the QR code. If anything, it should be built in an app-agnostic way, so that multiple client apps can work with it.
