The following code gets applied to the prefix:
if isinstance(prefix, str):
prefix = T(prefix)
if prefix:
prefix = prefix.strip() + ' '
So, you're probably limited to text. An alternative is to set prefix=None,
and after creating the navbar, insert whatever element you want at the
beginning (but only in the logged in case).
navbar = auth.navbar(prefix=None)
navbar.insert(0, my_fontawesome_element)
Another option is to do auth.navbar(mode='bare'), which returns a
dictionary of items you can use to build your own custom navbar. You can
look at the source code to get a better idea how it all works.
