Description
Similarly to some providers like youtube or plex, setting up a new client could:
- ask for the server url
- display a pin like
9F3L - allow user to enter the PIN straight from any other logged-in session
https://cloud.domain.com/pin
- automatically generate and exchange an app-password

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing client setup, logged-in-session, PIN, and app-password entry points against the proposed flow; done means a new client can request a server URL, display a PIN, accept that PIN at /pin from another session, and exchange it for an app-password.
