ao2-client/src/saved_auth.cpp, branch master AO2 client fork Add authentication dialog 2026-03-29T22:22:25+00:00 Osmium Sorcerer os@sof.beauty 2026-03-22T18:55:26+00:00 a124f46861d549ddc13485536962e34d80de939a Introduce start_auth_flow, a function invoked by typing `/auth username` in OOC. It sends an public-key authentication request to the server, starting the entire flow. The flow invoves two dialogs: to select the key, and to enter the passphrase to unlock the key. For convenience, each successful unlock also remembers the key for that username on the server, storing this in `saved_auth.json` (I chose JSON because I wanted it to stay human-editable; INI would be better, but it suffers from bad platform quirks in Qt).
