Description

Hey, it would be really nice, to have the ability to use Guest-Accounts without a Password.
The user opens a custom link, and is automatically logged into the specific user account.

In my current example, i want to share a Deck with a Guest-Account, so external people can access it without having to login.

Is that possible in the GuestAddOn or would it be better to implement it in the individual Apps (Deck) directly, like Forms and Polls did it. (I think it would be nicer to have individually configurable users.)

Research direction

Compare how the GuestAddOn relates to the individual Apps, especially the Forms and Polls implementations mentioned in the issue. Clarify whether passwordless custom-link access should be shared by the guest system or configured per app, and define done as safely accessing a specific Deck without a password.
