Password not encoded into the Authenticate as Guardian QR Code

[otech47]

When I click to Authenticate as a Guardian I would expect the QR code to contain everything I need to be able to make admin API requests

according to the logic the password should get included in the params before stringifying

but it doesn't actually get included, probably because in the session storage, I do not see any key for guardian-ui-key so the password cannot be retrieved to include

I do however see the value of the password stored in session storage, but the key is some long string which matches the ID stored in localstorage under the fedimint_ui_state_v2 key under service.config.id

Hey @otech47, I've been looking into this and I think I have a possible solution.

Instead of trying to fix the sessionStorage key mismatch, what if we just pass the password down through component props?

The flow would be: useGuardianApi() → FederationAdmin → DangerZone → GuardianAuthenticationCode

This way we skip the whole sessionStorage lookup and just get the password directly from the Guardian API hook. Feels cleaner and less error-prone to me.

I started implementing this approach and it seems to work well. The data flow becomes really straightforward.

Does this sound like a reasonable direction?

@kleysc yeah I think that sounds sensible. I can review the PR if you have it ready! 🙏

Qr code is also missing url but includes inviteCode which is not required.
