Description

In order to decouple the Admin access from any access control methods used by the convention, it should be possible to add a Passkey for admin users. This is in contrast to, say, adding a password or alternate social authentication.

The idea would be that admins would add a passkey for themselves, which they could use independently of the convention based authentication.

  • add an app to support passkeys, or write one?
  • add a set of views and controllers accessible only to admin users to manage their passkeys
