write anything as anyone ([`trust.md`](trust.md)). A token is a bearer's: whoever holds it is
the user until it ends, so it goes over TLS only, as passwords do.
+A user with keys in its entry (`keys`, The registry, above) logs in on any node without
+a password: it asks for a challenge, signs it with one of its keys, and gets the same
+token (`login: "key"`).
+
+```sh
+c=$(curl -s -X POST localhost:3000/auth/challenge | jq -r .challenge)
+printf %s "$c" | ssh-keygen -Y sign -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -n continuum-login > sig
+jq -n --arg c "$c" --rawfile s sig '{user: "alice", challenge: $c, signature: $s}' |
+ curl -s -X POST localhost:3000/auth/login/key -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @-
+```
+
+A challenge is the node's, signed by it, valid for five minutes, and taken once;
+the signature must be by one of the user's keys, as the registry the node holds then
+says, and the user enabled (`401` if not, saying why). A swarm without a registry has
+no keys (`409`).
+
`GET /auth/whoami` says who a request's user is, how it proved it, and what it may do.
Pages of other origins, the dashboards of other members, may call a node with a token:
