Anonymous Login Feature Request #1630
Description
Feature Description
I'm looking for a feature similar to Firebase Auth's anonymous login, where users can access the system with a unique identifier without requiring full authentication. This allows users to interact with certain resources, and later, if they decide to fully sign up, they can retain the resources associated with their anonymous account.
Suggested Solution
I would like to request an anonymous login feature in devise-token-auth. This feature should:
- Create a unique anonymous account for users upon initial interaction.
- Allow certain resources to be associated with this anonymous account.
- Provide a seamless way to convert this anonymous account into a fully authenticated account, preserving all associated resources.
Considered Alternatives
Currently, there is no direct support for this in devise-token-auth. Alternatives would involve custom implementation, which might not be as robust or integrated as having native support within the library.
Additional Context
Anonymous login is a useful feature for applications where users need to start interacting with the system immediately, without the friction of a full signup process. This can significantly enhance user experience and engagement.
Thank you for considering this feature request.
