Comment 1 for bug 1659591

That would require us to record the password, in plaintext, on the user's filesystem. We specifically avoid doing this.

Can we come up with an alternative solution that doesn't involve the user typing their password into the browser? They're already logged in via the CLI, so they shouldn't need to do that. IIANM, we used to generate a time-limited, single-use token to paste in. Can we bring that back?
