Requested Feature

Similar to WiFi's WPS or Philip's Hue's button on the hub. Allow a credential exchange for a new connection in the settings menu.

Flow:

  • A client without a password connects and requests authorization
  • The client shows up in the Connected WebSocket Sessions as unauthorized
  • The user clicks an accept button
  • The password is sent to the websocket to be stored by the application
  • The client becomes fully authed.

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.
