It would be great if there was an option to ONLY login via emby connec

One thing that would be great, if there was a setting that for login only allowed users to log into a server, if they come in via emby connect.  So password protection was done via emby.media rather than on the local server.  THen to add a new user, you simply add their emby.connect email address, what libraries and features etc.. but not credentials as such on the local server

Isn't that how it already works today? My users create their own passwords via a new community account (Emby Connect) and I simply create a new local user, link their (Connect) email address and assign library access. I do not apply passwords locally on the server. Only users know their own passwords, and are managed by emby.media as you said.

but, if someone "guessed" their username, they could log in without a password to your server.

Or more importantly, if you forgot to turn on "hide this user" from the various conditions, someone who found your site, could just log in

If you are allowing remote access, you definitely want to put strong passwords on those user accounts.

@HawkXP71 Couldn't you accomplish this now by simply providing a strong password that no one knows for the local user?

That could definately work for my pure remote users.  

Thanks.
