So I was poking around looking for something to work on...

https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6731

I'm a little confused about the use case, probably because I'm missing
the design discussions that led to this request.  Is this for remote
login, or for local login?  If it's remote login, why not use ssh
keys?  If it's for local login, it seems a little overcomplicated.

Is there something else I should spend some time on?  I've had one of
'those' weekends, but this should be calming down soon, so I'll have a
little free time.
