Description
Currently when creating an app token, there is an option to show a qr code that can be scanned by the mobile app to remove the need of typing in the app token on mobile.
It would be a better flow if a qr code is always shown, the qr code would hold a "placeholder token" that would be created once an app uses it.
This reduces the number of steps to login on a mobile device and hides all the "app token" terminology

Research direction
Start by tracing the app-token creation flow and its existing optional QR-code login path in the server repository. Determine how the mobile app consumes the QR code and where placeholder-token creation would be coordinated; done means an always-visible QR login flow that removes manual token entry.
