Feature request: Multiple authentication methods for one user

Allow a single FileBrowser user to use multiple authentication methods, for example: authentication:

  • password
  • oidc

This would allow the same user account to authenticate either with a password or through OIDC while retaining the same permissions, sources and settings. Currently, password and OIDC authentication result in separate user accounts.

Could support for multiple authentication methods per user be added?
