I done something like this before. I called them tokens, and they are used
to log someone in.
I user the $this->Auth->login({User Data}); method, from a controller. (Cake1.3
Docs <http://book.cakephp.org/view/1261/login> | Cake2.0
Docs<http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/authentication.html#identifying-users-and-logging-them-in>
)
What you can do is save the passcode value, and tie it to a user record.
Have the passcode login process, pull the passcode record, as well as the
associated User data, log them in via the Auth Login method.
This is not a secure login, so as long as the application is not housing
any business critical data, or personal sensitive data, then this should
work for you. I would probably still store the passcode as a secure hash,
using the Security component, and have an expiration date on the
passcodes.. just for added safety.
