      As a transitional measure before we can implement MBS-9207, we should allow users who don't want to opt-out of Digest authentication entirely (MBS-9209) to generate a separate token to be used for this access method, in place of their MusicBrainz account password.

      This was previously discussed in the MusicBrainz team meeting on 2025-12-17: https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/2025-12-17/?msg=5532620&page=1
