Comment 1 for bug 1458759

@PheniX:

I would rather NOT have the logon dialog in Variety - asking people to provide credentials for external services within an application like Variety teaches everyone bad security practices. There is OAuth for this exact reason and it should be used when available. I had something like this for Facebook sharing, but in an embedded Webkit, still passing via OAuth, and I'm glad I got rid of it and use OAuth properly in the browser now for FB.

Flickr supports OAuth, but I'm not sure the user gets much benefit from being logged in to Flickr, the effort to implement OAuth there just doesn't seem worth it.

For Wallhaven OAuth is not an option.

I guess what we can have is to add support for a folder ~/.config/variety/login-cookies where users will be able to put cookie text files and Variety will use them, like in the first solution you mention, then we document this on the website and in Tips-and-tricks. This means only more advanced and interested users will be able to use it.

PheniX, would like to provide a patch for this?
