Hi Kenneth The following are guesses....
1. I have never seen anything that is remotely similar to this in web2py. But i like the idea. 2. Maybe the 'impersonate' option might work. Someone how log in as a user whose account details you know and then impersonate the user identified in the link. Info on that here: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control#Authentication. Not sure how you log in as the known user though. 3. Somewhat related to your question is a challenge i want to address: how can i enable logging in via pictures? My app is for young kids and a great way for 5 year olds is to link their profile image with a password image. I thought that would be easy to make but after thinking about your question I suspect it wont be. It's kind of the same problem - logging in for someone else.
