As long as there is *any* sensible way to pass some data (a PIN string in our case) to the backend if the backend so requests, that will help us much. Thanks in advance for taking this into account.

Ideally, the backends > should be unaware of EDS-frontends... trouble galore! :) Hi, Matt suggested in his Account management that the server will ask for credentials with an information for which "source" this request is made, so the "auth_required" signal may contain this information. I'll add a strv parameter to that, just for being ready even for more expansion. What kind of information will be known in this parameter depends on the receiver for the signal.
