<![CDATA[Syncthing has no authentication]]>Just tried to set up syncthing, using "alllow specific users from this cloudron"

I noticed that it does not check the password. Anyone can log in using the specified user id, the password field is ignored.

You can set it up to use "auth using the app itself" and that will give you a single credential pair.

I guess the "auth using cloudron" simply whitelists a bunch of potential usernames (but ignores passwords)
