[Qgis-user] Authentication Method Plugins in Python

[Luigi Pirelli]

so much time passed when we wrote all the infrastructure  and for what I
remember when we designed the answer is NO... a new auth method is by
design not accessible to python API. This for security reasons.

you can create it in C++ and load it dynamically adding it's shared object
with other methods. Then you can use AuthManager python interface to use
the method.

this is what I remember but are classes I do not use since time... so I can
be wrong.

better to ask in dev channel
